Speaker 2 (02:36):
The old way. We are so on top of things.
We're at half an hour early.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
We're before anyone. No one even knows we're alive, right now,
that's right.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
We're gonna start potting at nine o'clock. But we are
so on top of things. It is now eight point
thirty on here on the East coast, and we're potting already.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, seven thirty seven in Chicago area.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Chicago, man, this is episode two thousand, two hundred and twenty.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Eight.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I think eight, yeah, five four.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
This is twelve to year or fifteen? Are we up
to fifteen years yet?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Are we veterans? It kind of blew my mind when
I knew we were over ten years at one point. Yeah,
and then and then I'm like, you know, ten years,
it's a pretty good run, and I'm just gonna stop
counting right now.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
I remember when we started because we were in San
Diego and you were talking to Johnny and I just
met Johnny a little bit before that in Florida where
he was sleeping on a big leather couch, and then
he showed up San Diego and talked to you, and
then he when he was done, he walked to me
and says, I'll call you Wednesday. And I'm like, okay, no,

(03:44):
and I'm like, what was that? And then you said, oh, yeah,
we're gonna we're gonna do a podcast.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Now, yeah, what year was that? Do we remember what year? Then?

Speaker 4 (03:52):
No idea? Well, the store was we opened a store
in twenty twelve, so it was around that time. Probably
do we have the show? Do we have the podcast
before stores? I think we board first.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I think we did. It's it's weird because I've lived
this life, but I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah, every day is the same. Every day is just
the next next day, So I don't know, I don't know.
It's just all the same I don't know what else
to do except for what we do, this thing, these
comic book type things, making comics, reading comics.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Right, Yeah, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that I
think I screw up the Facebook thing all the time.
So I don't know if it's actually going or not
on my feed, or if anybody can see it or not. Oh,
people to leave comments and we'll put them up. But
I have no idea. I think I think I'm live,
but they've seen so many things on Facebook. I have
no idea how anything works anymore.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well, we're on YouTube, so that's good.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, we're on YouTube and one of the facebooks and stuff,
and Johnny I'll have this on his audio feed in
case you miss it. So yeah to us after afterwards
you'll see Yeah, and so would say, are we selling
comic books? We're not. Well, we're selling our own You
can go to our websites.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, you can buy.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, our thautice are dot com and blind with Studios
dot com. And well we'll we'll sell you our own comics.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, a whole bunch.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah true. Yeah, So this is the year end wrap up.
We've done a record number of shows this year.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
You said, year, and.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
We've done We've done a record number of shows. I
think this year, this entire year, the entire compass of
twenty twenty five, we we've done three.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Shows, really three podcasts at least. I think, Wow, we
did more than that, do we?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think so? I think I think we did maybe
like six or so altogether.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Right, well, combine all of Yeah, I guess we've been
around two on other we do our own shows and
then guests on other shows. I can't even remember. Yeah,
we've been been around. I only I always know that
in January I have to pay the the stream yard fee,
and then I always think, oh, man, I to make

(06:15):
this work. I got to do like two shows a
week for this to pay off. So we could be
like because right now, it's like when you do a show,
it costs twenty five dollars to broadcast one show. If
you wait too long, you or you can broadcast and
bring the price down like two bucks a show. That's better,
you know. Yeah, but we want all the bells and whistles,

(06:37):
the backgrounds and all that cool stuff. Yeah, logos. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Christian asked if we have any New Year's resolutions. He says,
congrats on two thousand episodes.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oh yeah, thank you, christ Oh that's my that's my nephew,
Christian Soto. Yeah, that's so well, does husband Christian.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, you ask if we have any any New Year's resolutions.
I can tell you my resolutions. I wrote them down
on an article on thirteenth dimension dot com. It'll be
coming out. It'll be coming out this Friday, So check
Franco's free for all Friday on the thirteenth Dimension and
you can read all my resolutions.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
That's good because you don't have to remember what they
are now since they put them on the internet. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I read you know, Dan Greenfield over at thirteen Dimension.
He said that we had a great year and it's
thanks to all of us contributors. And I'm like, I,
you know, I don't know if it's it's due to me,
but I I just write, yeah out of my brain
when I get up one morning and I'm like, oh,
this is this fell out of my brain.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
This is what I read it. Every week. I read
his top ten toys whenever it's toys, I read it
re action figures, and I read yours.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, he doesn't do he doesn't do top ten. He
does top top thirteen.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, it's right. Yeah, and I like it because he
always has migos and superpowers on his list all the time.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, he's a big fan of those things.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah. I feel he does it for me. He goes,
he's gonna watch this one, so he'll click if there's
a Joker migo or something. Yeah, but it's good. I
do like your your your free from Friday, it says
still still Yeah, we're still doing this. Still. That's a
tricky word because still infers that there is a deadline

(08:22):
that it will end one day.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh, this will end one day, one day, one day.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
It will It's still going though, don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Why when still going? Wait wait says the guys will
return to the Avengers ony day.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah. Did you see the video I put up today?

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I did not.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's a twelve second video. It's on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
You can give me a give me an over overview.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's uh, it says Art Baltazar will be turning Avengers Doomsday.
It's on our YouTube channel because I made it so
I could put it at the end of my of
my Systein show, because I do the closing and then
I'm going to put that up there. Because every it
seems like everyone's doing that or everyone's in that movie.
It's it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Coretty much half of Hollywood. And I liked that. I
saw the second teaser thing, the Thor one today. Yeah,
because they did Captain America with his kid and then
they did Thor with his kid. So I'm wondering if
they're going to go through every member. That's why they're
starting so early in the year because the movie is
not coming out till next December, that they're going to
do one of these trailers every week for every character

(09:31):
with their kid that.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
It would be cool. Did you see a new one?
It leaked? The new one leaked. It was a little
bit messy and it's what Psyclops.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
What did it leak out of?

Speaker 4 (09:43):
It leaked out of Cyclops eyes shot out like like
with some propulsion. Yeah, but it's an X Men teaser
and uh, I forgot where I saw it, but I
know it's I know it's real.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And is it real or was it fake? Because I
heard some that it was.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
There's a lot of fake ones, but this one's real
because all of the news sites, news sites say it
together with me, kids, All the news sites are reporting
the same thing, but they're not allowed to clip it
or show it, but they talk about it in detail,
and it's the same thing I saw. It's it's not
official out there yet, but the first two with Captain

(10:22):
America and Thor, they were put out by Marvel's Facebook page.
Marvel Entertainment has Facebook and they're on there, so I
watched them for real. But they're the same ones that leaked.
But to confirm it, they're they're they're out there on
YouTube's and facebooks and anything Marvel is, especially if you
go to Marvel. And I know that I saw the

(10:42):
Captain America one on Entertainment Weekly or Entertainment Tonight's channel.
That's how I knew it was real. But this the
the Psyclops one looks really cool because they wait, wait.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Is an expert on everything, so I believe him, he said,
x men A third.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Trailer, Yeah, it has uh, Xavier and Magneto playing chess.
And of course yeah there because remember when he when
he when at the end of that movie, they went
he moved that one piece. Well he's finally able to
move it to hold the way now floating and and
h then they show Cyclops screaming with his eyes in

(11:21):
the air. But it's real quick. It's less than a minute,
so but it's really cool looking and hopefully, uh we
get to see more. And Cyclops has his air and
air costam on he has that one, but no no hood,
I'm i've he didn't have any masks and just the
goggles Cyclops laser goggles. What do they call him?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I beams his h his.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Glass glassholes glass holes, yeah, glassholes.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
So they have so many people in this movie Avengers
Doomsday that they can theoretically release one trailer a week.
They can be good. They could leak a trailer a week, and.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
They need fifty two weeks.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, fifty two weeks, that's right.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Two weeks. They can do it. They could do it.
I think they should. They should just uh but I
kind of like it seems like that they're making the
trailers that are not scenes from the movie, which I
kind of like that better, like instead of showing us
the movie show yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, because then like a year from now, I'm going
to be like upset because.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
I yeah, yeah, you don't want a piece of together.
That's the problem with like Mando and Grogu. People are
trying to figure out the story and hopefully it's bigger
than what we're seeing. And there's a lot of rumors
and more leaks. Everything leaks, and I don't want things leaking.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Mask because they don't see Yeah, they don't see it
very well.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, you gotta always call somebody. We got there and
they always give you their their magnetic uh business card
where it's on the thing that you're supposed to fix
later water heater and the rodge doors. There's a number already.
Don't move that. Don't take that off? Does the guy?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Does she get that? Should get that flex seal that
that covers up all those leaks and stuff like that
guy builds a boat out of a screen and catch
fish in that and nothing leaks. They should get that
guy to like do all the Hollywood stuff so nobody
knows about it.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
To flex seal should have been plastic Man superpet flex seal,
like a stretchy seal. That would have been good.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Why would plastic man have a have a water water?
I created that's the flexible part.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
I created a frog form called flexi frog. So if
the evers a movie ching or is it Chuching Chuching
not changing Chuching, are he's going to be a millionaire.
They make a flexi frog movie.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Wayne says, rogue. Did you won? Had that tie fighter
scene in the trailer that wasn't in the movie.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
That's right, Yeah, I think that was a change for
the movie. I don't know. I think they intended it,
but I think it was redone or rewritten. I don't know, know,
I don't know. But did the same thing in we
just watched El Camino, and remember it was a trailer
for El Camino, the Breaking Bad movie where Skinny Pete

(14:18):
wasn't being interrogated and he goes, I'm not going to
tell you where he is. I'm not going to give
up Jesse Pinkman. And that trailer was only in that.
So when we just watched it with me and Gordy
just watching, and I went back and said, I know
one more scene and he said that wasn't in there.
Like yep, that was an exclusive thing. But you need it.

(14:39):
You need it. Though I'm a.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Big fan of maybe maybe because I went to you know,
like art and film school and and I'm like a
big stickler on script, you know, writing a script for
I don't like to make it up as like a
along while I'm doing stuff that James Gunn has the
right idea that he's not going to do any scripts
for DC or he's not gonna film anything for DC

(15:04):
unless they have a script locked down.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
So not like the Star Wars sequels.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
So not like the Star Wars sequels. Yeah, and not
like but you know, there's something to be said for
you know that movie, The Emperor's New Groove from Disney. Yeah,
that's like one of my favorite animated movies. I think
it's it's really well well written, well done, well, you know,
everything is just spot on in that movie comes around nicely.

(15:28):
But they didn't have a script it was supposed to be.
So yeah, there's a whole documentary about it because Sting
did like the soundtrack for it, and his wife was
filming things behind the scenes, and there was like a
whole you know, big deal because it was originally supposed
to be a different movie directed by Yeah, it was

(15:51):
supposed to be like a totally different movie, and then
they scrapped the whole thing and then started again. And
they only had a year because they were going to
get sued by McDonald's because they had they had them Yeah, no,
they had the toys locked in for promotional stuff with

(16:13):
McDonald's and like the happy meals and stuff like that.
So they had a contract and it was supposed to
hit on a certain day and if they didn't, they
were gonna owe McDonald's lots of money.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Wow. Script like they get the script.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
They went went as they went along, and they changed
the script. They you know, write stuff daily and stuff
like that, and and and put it together because when
Disney didn't like that, she was going to put this
this you know, documentary out basically, so they they took
it over and re edited and to make them look good,

(16:51):
you know, with a with a happy ending. But you
can find you I think it's called this I forget
what it's called the sweat Sweatshop or something like that.
I think it's what it's all. But it's online and
you can see her version of all the messed up
stuff that happened all along through the productions.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
He should release an Earth two version of that movie
with all the hurt and stuff in it.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, yeah, so the Marvel ways, like, yeah, Wayne's right,
the Marvel movie. That's that's the way they did the comics.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
And that's what they did with Josh too. That's Spielberg
didn't have a script for the actors.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
They were writing it as they were.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Yeah, he told them what to say, like all right,
you're mad at him for it this, and you react
to them doing that, and a lot of that. Their
words were ad libbed, and that's why they sound so good,
Like when especially when the scene where Brody in the
beginning when he answers the phone, they just told him
the riff just say whatever, and that was all just
him making it up on the phone, like poc Toka

(17:52):
when he's talking about poking a car.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Sometimes they get lucky. I guess if you have a
good you know, a good vision like like Spielberg. I don't.
I don't think Spielberg has had some flops, I guess,
but you know, overall he's he knows what he's doing.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, his first one's always good. The sequels are always hurting,
not as good as the first one.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
But I would never recommend that way. I wouldn't be
comfortable working that way. I would need to know what
the story was and the script was and all that
other thing.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Yeah, well, we work on jokes until they're funny. They
don't know, you don't and you could I here's a
secret I told. I told kids. When when you're reading
my stories and the story starts where character's walking on
a sidewalk, that's when I don't know where it's going.
So I'll start thumbnailing and all right, he's on a sidewalk,

(18:44):
and then I'll make up the story as it goes,
and it always ends up somewhere else, and.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well, that's in the that's in the beginning process, because
you change things and you add things, and you know,
like you know, I know if I because that's the
way all stories are. Sometimes she kind of make it
up as you go along, but then you go.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Back and you edit and you go, oh, okay, fix it.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
I figured out this is going to happen in the ending,
so I got to go back and put some of
this stuff in here. Yeah at the beginning. Yeah, most of.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
My stories start from a far reaches the space an asteroid.
Every issue Superman Family started that way. I think I
have several Alliah Comics stories, a meteorite story. Everything has
an asteroid coming from space. That's the best thing. Anything
can come from space, and it can make sense. You know,

(19:31):
you can do anything from space. Where's that thing? Oh,
it's an alien from space. Radioactive rock gives you powers, you.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Know, so every one of your stories starts that way.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, just about Wayne.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Says, have you seen the documentary Heart of Darkness about
the making of Apocalypse, Now, A pack.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
Eclipse, now Packalypse. Now.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I don't think I've seen Heart of Darkness. I've seen
a Pacalypse.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Now, but I haven't seen her a long time.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
No, I don't even remember it. I just remember when
when when Charlie Sheen saw his dad when the boats passed. Hey,
I remember you. You were good on Wall Street. Remember
that part in the movie that.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Was that was what was the name of that movie? Yeah,
that was hot that was hot Shots. Yeah, part.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Du X Dukes, the Dukes.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
But Charlie she was in the platoon. He was in
the platoon.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
We're watching the Charlie Harper Show now every night. I
watch a few episodes. It's really good Charlie Harper.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I've been I've been retro I've been retroing it and
watching Barney Miller and my son and I just started
watching soap because I haven't seen soap in years. And
I was telling him about soap and then I found
it on the two B two B channel. Yeah it's
it's stupid funny. I mean, you know, it's very overacted.
But you know they were making fun of soap opera.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
So you know, I never watched those shows. I never
saw them audience. I was grown up.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I was a big TV kid. I would watch you know. Now,
that was my only form of entertainment. I never went outside.
I'm I'm amazed that I don't have a vitamin D deficiency.
Oh yeah, all the sudden I didn't get as a kid.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
You know, we have that that life zone whatever it's called,
when you could track your kids on their phones and
you could see where everyone is, and I can tell
when my son gets to work and where my daughter goes.
And every time I look at mine, it says I
haven't left the house since the last So they get
turned into different. Now I'm the stay at home I
don't go anywhere. I write grocery lists. I asked my wife,

(21:41):
you go on shopping tomorrow. Yep, all right, I give
her a list, so I want it right now. I
need cream for my coffee today, but I'll wait till tomorrow.
I'll just have I'll just drink my coffee black day.
It's okay, and I'll just I need this, but I'll
wait till Friday, no problem, you know.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
See. I think that's that's the one advantage I have
over you is that I go shopping. Oh so, so
I leave the house once a week, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
I do when it's desperate. But if they're going because
now right now for the holidays, everyone's home. My house
is a full house, separate even those Caitlyn girls, those
twins from the full house. I forgot what they're called.
We got them here.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Too, Mary, Kate and Ashley. They live at your house.
Is that where they've been.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
All the and there's still babies. Yeah, they're in our house.
So they're saying stuff like remarkable whatever she would say.
But it seems like that. So everyone's here all the time,
every day, and it's this time of year where I
have to work every day, but nothing gets done. It's
real slow because like everyone's here, like damn, and I'm

(22:44):
going to bed when I can getting up when. But
then you when you wake up, everyone's here and they
talk and they made bacon. It's like, damn, what am
I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
It's funny because it's it's publishers, need need stuff, but
nothing happens in these two weeks.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, since Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, everybody's everybody's off, so like you have stuff to
do and deadlines, but it's okay if it doesn't get done,
because they gonna call you.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Oh we're gonna hear on January third or whatever. That

I don't care even though they a little kid can't
do it. Penis Van Lesbian his birthday.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Was was he's one hundred years old, undred years old,
Penis Fan Lesbians.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I was laughing and my wife's like, what are you
laughing at? I showed what's that means?

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Well? He's officially too old. He aged out of Legos
because Legos says from nine to ninety nine on the pack. Yeah,
you can't play him no more. Eh Oh that sucks.
Penis Fan Lesbian aged out of Legos? Yep?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
So good do they do they have like you know,
like on the mattresses, if you tear off the tag,
you know by order, Yeah, you know under law you
can't tear off this tag. They have somebody? Yeah, do
they have somebody that can arrest him or or what happens?

Speaker 4 (26:49):
They take him away, they ban it, they take it away.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
How do you know he's not he's not at home
playing with Legos right now.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
It's like that's you the moment he turned a hundred,
the Lego police not found it. So excuse me, mister
Penis van Lesbian, But you have we might check the
premises for any Lego material, and that's the only way
you could get away with it. Tell them to get
your revenge. You got to leave some by the door,
on the floor, so when they walk in it hurts.

(27:16):
But now they confiscate that stuff. Man, when you get
age out, it's like the reverse of underage drinking, you know, Yeah,
you get a fine they take.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah. I wonder if Lego gets like a readout of
everybody's birthdays and they're like, Okay, these these five people
are over one hundred this year.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Oh they know, they know who you are, because the
oldest person in the world always makes the news. I
think a park ranger just died. She was one hundred
and four and I saw that, and it gives us
hope because she started being a park ranger at age
eighty four, so she worked like twenty years as a
park ranger. Imagine getting Imagine like Yogi Bear like say,

(27:58):
I'm going to get you, booboo, but it's the park ranger, said,
Yogi park ranger is not going to like that. She's
a littld lady booboo. She won't do anything. She'll be
done soon twenty years later. She probably has a jeep
and a gun. I don't know ifs have guns, they
got shotguns shoot the bears, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I like that Yogi Bears thought about this. She's eighty
five years old. How long does she lives? Two three years.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
At the most relaxed Boo boo boy. Yeah, she's not
gonna like.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
It's Yeah, I never thought she lives that long.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yog Boobo will say, when I met her, I was
only ten. I'm thirty and she's still here. Yogi. Yeah,
Dune the best boom boo. Now they got a new one. No, Like,
I don't know if someone replaced her, they could replace
her with any age. At this point, we got a
nice young eighty three year old, a little younger than
what you started out as you know, But I mean,

(28:58):
like at eighty four or eighty four, how do you
decide to be a park ranger? Like, I don't know
what she did before that.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
She always wanted to get outside.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
I think, oh, do you know who I'm talking about?
But she looked cool. The picture they showed of her
was her standing in front of the barn or the
cabin with the Superman pos looking up at this guy
with her hat. It was pretty cool. One hundred and
four years old.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, but I'm thinking it's someone who because you get
paid for that job.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah, it's a real job.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
But yeah, she had to have had another job for
the first like sixty seventy years.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Of her life, right, yeah, but that's like right now,
I'm like, it hurts the just walk and hurts the
walk without shoes and hurts. Everything hurts, But I wonder,
like how she did it. It proves that maybe the
park ranger job doesn't hurt, you know, like nothing hurts
while I draw, but when I try to do other

(29:59):
things like it on a ladder and hold something or
hang a hang a jacket in the closet, it hurts everything.
Because Sonny gave me a big coat today, and uh,
it's true. I was in pain hanging up this coat.
It's a big winter coat, like one of like a
big just giant, like what the Navy guys wear. It's

(30:19):
just real big heavy coat and it fit great. And
I put it on a closet and it's kind of
so heavy that the hangers now gonna bend. But I
hung it up.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
And then you can look for your jacket and thought
the floor it's.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Like it's melting and the hanger is like, we're looking weird.
But my arms up here of hanging it, oh im
like ah, I pulled, I pulled my wearing the jacket
I hold. No. I tried it on. It felt good.
It felt like I was being hugged by it by
a giant mom. It felt good. Father.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
So going back to the park Ranger things. Yeah, if it,
if it's good for you, you were saying, I don't know,
because I've seen those Yogi Bear cartoons and the park
Ranger takes a beating.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
He runs a lot too, yeah, and chasing him with
his finger up like this. Yeah, you gotta get those
picnic baskets. I don't know that's something to look into,
because I know a lot of celebrities are becoming cops,
like Lou Frigno and the former Superman, Lowe's and Clark
and uh oh he just saw something. Oh it's not

(31:32):
watching a fight boxing you like boxing one of the boxers.
Oh it was Spider Silva. You know that guy, He
was the MMA guy.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
No, I just know Spider Man.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Oh, Spider Man. Yeah, this is Spider Silva. Spider Man Silva.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I've heard of him. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah. They they asked him what if he's gonna retire,
what's gonna do? He said, he's gonna become a policeman,
but he's still gonna fight. So imagine getting pulled over
by that guy. Just me, give me an excuse, I'll
kick you with my leg, you know. But I find
out all these celebrities are becoming police officers, even like
Steven Segal, he's a cop now, Like, I wonder if

(32:14):
that's the way to go. Imagine Tom Selleck being a
please guy or just these real big handsome actors former
actors and boxers and Olympic athletes. I don't know, maybe
that's the way. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
If they could be on the street though or something.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yeah, everyone would like imagine if they hired, like Sophia
have a guard to be a cop. I think yeah,
crime rate will go up, Like if you if you
know I'm gonna rob this place, you gotta find out
where she works. And I bet anywhere she works or

(32:50):
crime rate it will go up. And then people just
they won't run very hard. I'll just jog lately. Did
she catcha.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
She's got high heels on her. I'll go slower.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
Yeah, just go slow, let her catch you, dude, it's
worth it. Like that might be something you're gonna get canceled.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Baltasar Wait says first, Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, mix step Yeah, is.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
That a weapon? Maybe?

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Maybe?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I was thinking about becoming a park ranger.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Yeah, so what if Sophia Vagara became a park ranger
or Verma Farmiga Verma, Verma Farmiga Park Ranger. We got
a new ranger. I don't think Verma is gonna like this, Yogi.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Ern like this ranger for Mega Ranger Formiga.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
She's not gonna like this, Yogy. What's a metterbable boy?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Another thing I noticed they don't even make picking baskets anymore.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
She wants everything low carb.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Everything low carbs.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
This cellery in asparagus. We can't do this.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I don't really like.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
She's looking out for your blood sugar, Yogi, what's the
problem with a bear. I'm a carnivore. We could eat
berries too, Yogi. That's a good boom hunger old time
Burma Farmiga.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I'm a carnivore.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Unless you like my my eighty eighty year old dad
when when he loves his fruit trees that he grows
in the backyard. And one day there was a it
was a bear climbing its peach tree. Really yeah, it
was a big bear. It out right up the back

(35:00):
of his house. And uh, they were sitting on the couch.
My sister told me the story. I was I was away,
I was at like I forget which convention New York
Comic Connor's book on or something like that. I remember
it's New York City and they were sitting on the
couch and my sister looks out the back and they
were sitting watching TV and she looks out the back window.

(35:21):
I think I told the story, but anyway, she she
sees something and she goes, is that a bear in
the backyard? And my dad goes to look and the
bear was climbing the peach tree. Oh no, geting getting
the peaches. And that annoyed my dad, so he went
out there and started throwing rocks at the bear because
he didn't want He didn't want to eating his peaches.

(35:41):
And I'm like, why did you do that? I didn't
want him did peaches. I'm like, you know, bears run
really fast.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Yeah, but he was your dad could probably wrestle.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, you know at that point I was thinking that, yeah, yeah,
your dad would become shirtless bear fighter.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Uh huh. He would. He would grab a stick and
climb the tree and whack the bear before he climbs up.
He would. I know, Franko's dad is not gonna like that.
He'll never recognize me. I'll take my head off and
might tie you won't know it's me. It's not gonna

(36:23):
like that yogi you're dealing with, mister.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Really, Annie Waite says, doesn't Verma raise goats and make
her own cheese? It's getting a little personal there.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
For cheese cheese? What kind of cheese from Mega Cheese?
We could use Verma? What has she been doing lately?

Speaker 2 (36:45):
She's been in those conjuring, conjuring movies, the scary ones
about the haunted houses and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Oh, last time I saw her, she was playing Norman
Bates's mom.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah no, but yeah, she did a whole bunch of scary,
conjuring movies.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Does she play the mom in it? Now? Is she
always the mom?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
She's the wife? It was a husband and wife. Do
you know these are real people that would would do like,
you know, go out and investigate haunted houses and stuff.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Like that story?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, I believe. You know, you know, there there was
that haunted Raggedy and Doll.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Caney, I know Canney.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yeah, yeah, they they you know, the the haunted Raggedy
and Doll Mabel or something like that. It's called oh
yeah or whatever. It's here. It's here in Connecticut, or
was here in Connecticut. That's them, the couple that that
owned her. They were, Yeah, they would do paranormal investigators.

(37:48):
I'm not sure, but I it might have been someone
else that did the Amityville Horror like like Wayne says,
it's Annabelle. That's right, Annabelle is the is the name
of the doll.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
I can't watch any get scared?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yes, yeah, yeah, and Art says. Arcine says, dude, yeah,
I remember so yeah, and not enough they did the
the Amityville Horror ones too. I think that might have
been somebody else though, I remember that movie scared the
heck out of me.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah, called what are they called paranormal? Because para paranormal
means there's like two normals, be like a couple normal.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
No, no, no, not pair of normals, normal.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Pair, pair of normal.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah. Oh, para means like they came down on a
parachute or something like that.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
But you only get one shoot and a parachute. There
should be two. Yeah, it's not a pair, right, even
like a pair of keet you only get one keat.
There should be two all the time, right.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Arcadie says, annabel that's the dollar, right, But he also says,
I can't even watch the Wizard or Oz or the
Wizard of Oz.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Uh, don't your TV.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, that would be the number one reason I wouldn't
watch something that's good.

Speaker 4 (39:07):
The monkeys. The monkeys are fright frightful. Yeah, that's scary.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Did they were scary in the Superman movie too. Let's
had them all he did, right?

Speaker 4 (39:19):
He has japanees or something, little capuchins.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah, doing the Internet stuff for him?

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Yeah, the Internet monkey trolls. You should have had trolls
in her too? Was that a statement for the for Twitter?

Speaker 2 (39:35):
You think the monkeys or the troll monkeys.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
The Internet monkeys. But he, like Howard, they smart enough
to do all that? Were they from that?

Speaker 2 (39:44):
He had the implants in their brains and stuff like that,
didn't he?

Speaker 4 (39:47):
He had That's a lot of time to do that
to every all of those monkeys because they were smart.
It means they were intelligent monkeys. Because Crypto freedom at
the end, remember he freedom at the interwhere jumping around.
He was chasing him up the building and stuff.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah. Katie doesn't like the Witch. She said scared. I
remember the the Witch would scare my brother when we
were kids, and he was afraid of the Wicked Witch
and King Kong and Darth Vader. He would run out
of room. Yeah, but I was afraid of Cuckoo for

(40:24):
Cocoa Puffs guy the Big Chicken, because he would scream.
Remember when when I would scream, I get up and
run on.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
He went cuckoo, he went crazy.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Hey, he went nuts. He's screaming. I didn't like that. Yeah,
I didn't like him.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
The Green Witch and the Wizard of Oz. She didn't
really want to do the role because of all the
make up, because the makeup actually when they first put
it on her had I forget what was what was
in the makeup, but it burned her skin and she
didn't want to She didn't want to continue doing it,
but she was afraid that if she didn't, yeah, that

(41:01):
that she wouldn't get any more work. Yeah, so she
kind of sucked it up and did it.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Like Cole Cogan, someone else would take a spot mm hmm. Yeah.
The scariest part of Wizard of Oz is when they
take storthy steals to shoes, but then those feet curl
up they go under the house. Yeah, that was the
weirdest part.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Well, that implied I kept my shoes on for weeks
after that, because that implied that if I took my
shoes up, my off, my legs would do that as well,
and I didn't want that.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, my legs do that now. No, no, no, that's
not my legs. Sorry, something else.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
He says. His first fear was Simon Barr Sinister. Was
it the eyebrows?

Speaker 4 (41:43):
Oh yeah, from Underdog? From Underdog, Yeah, that's how we
would talk.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
He had those dark set eyes, like you know, the
under his eyes. They were either red or black, you know,
lines under his eyes. But he had those crazy eyebrows.
I remember that.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
He's the eyebrows, crazy eyebrows. And sometimes in the I
would have the comics. Sometimes he was flesh tone or
ugly colored green or just green. He was always different shades.
Whoever colored him, Well.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
It depends on what what what week they got him.
He wasn't feeling well some weeks.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Yeah, Simon bar Sinister, Yeah, yeah, that's weird.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
It's like undertalking a while.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Yeah, yeah, Wayne says.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Buddy Ebsen from Barney by Jones and the Beverly Hill
Billings was to be the original tin Man, but he
got sick from the illuminium.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
H did he really wow, that's why they got.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
The second guy. But he was he was supposed to
be and then the next year he did.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
I think the the Beverly Hill Billies and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Man Maine jed. Yeah, I like that. Man. It Wizard
of Oz. A lot of tragedy and infectious disease going on.
Everybody's getting sick. Maybe it was just Dorothy you they
were then't like, I don't know, trying to make it
the some joke. It's not working. But but yeah, he just.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Killed people right and left in the in.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Oz there, Yeah, they die. I like the scene where
Scarecrow and they invade the They invade the castle and
Scarecrow has a gun. He has a pistol the accident.
You see him, he has a gun. Let's get him.
It's like, where do you get the gun? He had
a handgu I thought that was cool. It's the only
real thing from our world that was in Oz. Everything

(43:32):
else is like fantasy and uh yeah, and then uh,
the witch wanted to burn Scarecrow, burn him. Man, that
was rough. And the worst part of the whole movie
is when that lions starts singing with the broken crown
on his head. I hate that whole scene. It's like
when that Clariss in that Rudolph movie is sitting and

(43:57):
singing in the water fountain. God put this when he goes, Hi,
I am the king of the forest. I hate Oh,
I gotta walk away.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
I find it fascinating the things that trigger you.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Yeah, I can't take it. I don't know what it is.
And I think it's just the way his voice goes.
I don't I don't know. And it's like that that
song lasts like an hour and eighteen minutes. Like, man,
it's so bad. I don't know. Why, why did he
do that? I don't know. Yeah, I can r.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Katy says that tin Man also did c three PM.
He did him.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
He did him like they were like that.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Scarecrow says, I'm here to choose strong kick ass, but
I'm out of straw. Wayne says, yeah, and that's because
all this. The crows took it out of him.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Yeah, he took him. This is some of them. And
he stopped falling over too. After Dorothy met him and
he came off the stick that was up and up
his body. They took He was floppy, remember, he kept
falling and slipping and then he stopped, he.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Stopped falling, he got stiff.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
Yeah, he got used to her. Maybe because the brick
wasn't wasn't a slippery.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
He was maybe just excited to see Dorothy.

Speaker 4 (45:15):
Yeah. Maybe she was like fourteen in the movie, right,
or supposed to be. But now now that I bet
wonder how old she was in real life, because like
I'm watching this Stranger.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Thing, like I think she was in her thirties or.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
Yeah, it makes sense because I'm I'm watching The Stranger Things.
I watched it all in like two days so.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Far, and yeah, the next episode is coming up.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Yeah Christmas or something next week. I don't know, but
I but all these kids are like thirty years old now.
They're they're like still in high school going to mass classes. Like, yeah,
I'm better, you know, Like I know, there was a
scene where they're picking on the bully and I was
really uncomfortable because they all were tough now and the

(46:00):
bully shoved a little dusting guy. Yeh, it was weird.
It's a weird. I think they should have made them
in college or something.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Well. Being you know, being a former high school teacher,
I can tell you that, you know, ninth grade freshman
to senior year, twelfth grade. There's a lot of puberty
that happens in those four years.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
And these guys are all looked like thirty years old.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Yeah. Yeah, there's some kids that look like it looked
like that by the time they get to be seniors.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Yeah. I do remember a few kids in high school
senior had beards. Guys had full beards, big hairy arms. Yeah,
so yeah, it happens.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
It's the ones when you're in middle school that have
mustaches as well. You gotta watch out for.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Yeah, that's it's like, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yeah middle uhr, Katie says, this is getting dirty. We
ain't even getting started.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Oh yeah, we haven't showered since last week. Since my
life's on side, I haven't left the Yeah, I didn't
have to shower. I didn't leave. I don't go anywhere,
just stay home and draw. Filling up a new sketchbook,
a new sketch book. The kids would say, Daddy, don't
forget your sketch book. It's filling up real nice. I

(47:16):

always always the secret stuff is driving me nuts right now, man,
I wish I was done with the secret stuff, so
I could move on to other things.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Well, if you just tell everybody, then it won't be
secret anymore. Then you'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
That's true. Yeah, it may not be secret in halfway
through January, hopefully, but I know January fifth is coming. Man,
Everyone's going back to work, back to their iPads or
the screens whatever people work on. Now, I don't know.
I don't know what people work on. And people are remote,

(47:52):
they work remotely, so I don't know. If anyone goes
back to the orifice, they just turn on a different
computer or log in, you know, mm hmm, you know.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Yeah. Well it's it's still a week away, so I'm okay.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Yeah, And I got my grocery list for tomorrow, so no,
my wife and daughter. I gave him a list and
I made a list, and uh, it's a long strip,
so I said, fill it up, don't write too big.

(48:27):
We're going to get a lot of stuff, and we're
looking at places that will deliver tomorrow because a lot
of places close early. So if we want to have
so far, if we want to have our New Year's
Eve party, we got to start it at five because
the place is closed at like six and seven, like man,

(48:47):
so we can't time it for midnight, so we got
to hopefully eat dinner or eat our snacks or I
don't know. I don't know what to do. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Our New Year's Eve party will consist of eating earlier
and then sitting on the couch watch movies to wait
till midnight. Yeah, which means that we'll eat early, sit
on the couch, watch a movie, and promptly fall asleep, uh,
and then wake up some time, maybe before midnight, possibly after.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
They rewind it, rewind it, just keep it on that channel.
He can rewind it.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
New Year's Rock and Eve. It's Ryan Seacrest, which I
find offensive because every year I tune in and Dick
Clark's not there.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
They keep adding names to it.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Yeah you know, and and then Yeah, I want, I want,
I want Dick Clark to show up.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
I want Mario Lopez on there. It's about time he
gets that show. You know, he's a good looking young.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Man instead of a instead of Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Well, he could be his partner, I guess, but I
don't see Ryan's much. I see that other guy, Andy Cohen,
I see him on there, and Anderson then or something
like that is that a different show?

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Yeah, the on CNN or something like that.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Oh, I see that, Maybe I see Ryan. I don't know,
but Mariah Carey's always making a mess of herself on
all shows, always forgetting lyrics.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
And rings in the Yeah, she rings in the New Year, and.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
She's always cold. She doesn't wear clothes shows up.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I think she gets messed up after Christmas because of
all the all the Christmas song that she does. They
put her back into deep freezing.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
What she knows this time?

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, they bring herround for New Years and she's like, wait,
this isn't what I do.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, but what like what a brilliant thing for any
musician to write a hit Christmas song? Because your song
is going to be popular for the next forty years.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, it's gotta be a hit because there's a lot
of Christmas songs every year, new Christmas songs every year,
and and a lot of them. You know, not its
r because I hear sometimes I'm like, I didn't know
this person did a Christmas song and it was from
nineteen you know, ninety somethings or whatever.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Chestnuts roasting.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I heard a Backs Boys Christmas one the other day
in the car oh, And I'm like, wait, who is this?
And my son was like, oh, this is Backstreet Boys.
I'm like, how do you know? This is aactreet Boys?
First of all? Yeah, and then it was yeah, it
was a Christmas song that I had never heard.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
The backseat men, no, because they're too old to drive.
Yeah mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
But if you're lucky enough, like Mariah Man that that
thing is gonna be around forever. No.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
No, yeah, she doesn't want a lot for Christmas. That's
what she says in her.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Paul McCartney did it that wonderful heavy.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Yeah, wonderful? What what what?

Speaker 2 (51:37):
What? What?

Speaker 4 (51:38):
What?

Speaker 2 (51:38):
What? And then that Elton John did one with step
into Christmas. He did that one Christmas.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Yeah, this is Christmas that guy. Yeah, wamma Gayden.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
I got again on Christmas Eve this year.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
Last Christmas, I gave you a fart. Yeah that's good.
And I keep hearing Taylor Swift's version of that. I
hear that all the time. Yeah, well, I.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Didn't even know that. I heard a bunch of her.
She did White Christmas and a bunch of other ones.
She did a Christmas album or.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Something, I guess, Yeah, yeah, she did. That's probably what
I hear because it's a when we set up the
tree and all that stuff the CD was playing. That's
probably we're here at all. I don't know, but I
know it real good. And everyone's always wants uh Santa
to come down the chimney and they're calling him baby,
Santa Baby. That's like a song about fornicating with Santa.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
They want to touch his beard, yeah, his presence. Yeah,
it's a it's an odd Uh. The only one that
makes sense is the first one earthed the kid, because
you know she she'll do everything she says. You just
trust her in that way. But I don't know if
Taylor knows what she's singing to the swifts.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
I don't think she does.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
Maybe I think.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
She's she's a billionire. You know, she's a billionaire.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
And she's seen some stuff you're saying.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
I'm just saying that she's a billionaire. And believe it
or not, this year it finally happened. Bay Once has
become a billionaire. Really, it just happened. She she got
it in under the wire of twenty twenty five. Oh,
it's good, she's she just she just became a billionaire.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
I'm proud of it. You know what jay Z called
her before they were married, babe fiance. That's right, that's right, Yeah,
that's what he called her because my fiance Beyonce.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
But but jays By once Jay's was already a billionaire.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
And Kane West see a billionaire now?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
But no, uh no, I think I forgot who was
on the list. But it was a short list of
musicians that were billionaires.

Speaker 4 (53:59):
It was McCartney.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
I bet we could look it up, but it was
it was h Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Jay's.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
Bruce Springsteen, Brusa, bruss Springstey.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Yeah, oh, list of artists. But Beyonce declared the fifth
billionaire music. So there's only five. There's only five, There
can only be one. So Paul McCartney is a millionaire,
but not a billionaire. Oh so coming in number five
on the list is bay Once.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
She came in at number five. She's the fifth billionaire.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
And then and then the other ones were let's see
I can find the list here.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Medium was talking about how men have to become rich
to get to get a hot spouse, but women don't,
like I forgot a comedian was saying it. He was saying,

(55:20):
like because you would date Beyonce even if she worked
at Burger King. You would say, I want a dater,
but but it helps that JD's rich. You know, shut up, Baltazar.
But that's like I heard a community. I don't know
if it was Bill Burr, sounds like him, but it
was really funny. Or it might have been a Chappelle.

(55:42):
I don't know who said that, but it was really funny.
Like you would date Kim Kardashian if she worked at Target,
you know, but she wouldn't date you if you worked
at Target. There's difference, you know, like Bay wants his
boyfriend when does not work at boy at Burger King,
but it's her. I don't know what hit that out is.

(56:04):
It's funny though it's true.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
So okay, So here's the list. Do you want? Do
you want to get?

Speaker 4 (56:10):
I gave you.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
I gave you most of them, so I gave you
once Twyler Twyler Swift, number four Jays. I don't know
where the number, what numbers they are? I just have
the five.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
No, it's Jays. Is he is he a billionaire?

Speaker 2 (56:26):
To is a billionaire?

Speaker 4 (56:27):
But is he a billionaire because his wife and they
share bankers.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Gave a billionaire by himself. He did it by himself
before it before bait once. Yeah, because she just entered.
He was already there. He was already there.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
Yeah, she don't move over.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
And then Brusa, Bruce Springsteen, Tyler and and Jays Jays,
and there's one more. Can you name the one more?

Speaker 4 (56:55):
It's not Paul McCartney.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
It's not Paul McCartney.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
How about Elvis?

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Uh No, he's been dead for a while, so he'll
he'll always stay in the millions, but I don't think
he'll get to billionaire status.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
About Michael, and so it's not dead guys, just a live.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Ones, I think so, yeah, live ones.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
I'm gonna go with Garth Brooks. No, No, I'm gonna
go with.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
It. It was a surprise to me, so it'll be
a surprise to you.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Michael Michael, No, not him, Mike Bubbles, that's his name, Michael.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Way Wayne Wayne, Wayne will give us the answer. So
Jay's Taylor Swift and Rihanna.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
Rihanna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga. What is Rihanna saying?

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Rianna? She sings? Uh she bright like a diamond. That
one bright like a diamond.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Yeah, I don't know how about weird l Is he
in there anywhere? Ah?

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (57:54):
To is writer? Or sing a Brianna song? That's what
he does. He steals songs, changes the words. It's really
easy to do.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
He gets permission, though, Yeah, I guess if he don't.
If they don't, he reaches out to the artists, and
if they don't want to, then he doesn't. He doesn't
do it.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
Damn. What would he do with the Allia podcast thing?
You think we don't really have words?

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Though? He can make words.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
M hm.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
He does songs that aren't parodies?

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Does he no parodies? You get two of D's nuts? Yeah,
these nuts parodies.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
That's pretty good parodies pard these nuts. Yeah. But yeah
it's Rihanna. And I don't know. I've heard a couple
of Rihanna songs, but I didn't. I didn't know that
she was in the Billionaire.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
I didn't know what she's saying.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
She's got she's spectacular, she's fantastic looking, but she she's
got them tats, them tattoos and stuff.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
With jo Yeah, I don't know, I know, I know
she got choked a little bit for you. Years ago.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
She was yeah somebody, but she was in a couple
of movies too.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
She was in that.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I want to say. She was in that battleship movie.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Was she? Yeah, nobody watched that.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Yeah, it was a horrible movie.

Speaker 4 (59:15):
But Alien. She seemed like she would get chased by
an alien or something.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
She's been in a couple of You know who's all
over the place. Is that Bad Bunny guy? He's he's uh,
he's singing, doing a tour, he's wrestling And.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
I only heard about him because he's gonna be at
the super Bowl halftime.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Yeah, he's a whole bunch of movies. Do you ever
see Bullet Train with Brad Pitt?

Speaker 4 (59:37):
I heard of it. I've never seen.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
That's a good movie. You should see. It's fun. And
he was also in a movie my son and I
just watched the other night with Austin Butler. I think
the guy that that was Elvis in the movie.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
Yeah, I like him.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Yeah, he did a movie recently and Bad Bunny was
in that too.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
Awesome. Butler would always make a good gambit. I always
thought that's.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
What I said, Yeah he would. I said that the
other day. Did I say it on the podcast?

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
No, I haven't heard it. I just said it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
I said it to.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Someone the other day when I was talking to them,
I said, hear me out, not Channing Tatum, but Austin Butler,
because he's got that real thin frame.

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
That yeah, because Gambit is not a big guy. He's
thin because you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Gotta wear that. You gotta wear that head piece that
Gambit has. And yeah, Channing Tatum, although he's very physically fit,
caught Stealing, thank you, Arcane. He Caught Stealing is the
movie that Austin Butler was, which I enjoyed quite a bit.
Actually it was real good, but uh, I'm very almost
kind of like pulp fiction type of feel to it.
So that's what I but Channing Tatum, even though he's

(01:00:44):
real muscular and stuff like that, when they put that
thing on his face, he looks like he's.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
Like, yeah, puffy, puffy and uh.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
And out of uh.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Yeah, I bet he takes it off in the movie.
That's what they do all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
But Austin Butler, I think enough because Austin Butler was
in that Dune movie, the Second Dude movie, and he
was old, and he was real thin and white and pasty.
Oh yeah, and he was really and and then I
was watching Cott Stealing the other night, and I said
to myself, but I think I don't know if they
said it's Johnny or something like that, but I so,

(01:01:17):
you know who would make a really good game. But
it's Austin Butler. Yeah. He's got the hair too, that
would stick up out of the out of the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
Yeah, white and pasty. Yeah, reminds me of some family members.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Yeah, like Glue, like Glue, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
Like dead Horse. Yeah. You know who would be a
good uh you know that movie they made a new
Tornado movie. Yeah, yeah, Indiana Jones. That's my pick.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Oh, him for Indiana Jones.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
I don't know why they're not thinking it is, well,
people get mad, there's only one Indiana Jones. Yeah, but
he could They could have Harrison Ford in the beginning
of the movie talking about when I was twenty eight
years old in Egypt and then go to flashback.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
But I don't I don't think that's true anymore. If
there's only one Indiana Jones, center, now there's there's Captain
Kirk has been played by a couple of different guys. Now,
James Bond has always been played by different guys.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
Neil Neil Patrick, Thomas Harris was Indiana Jones in the
in the Kids one When I was on TV, they
had two Indiana Jones. Is there? Wonder what that little
kid looks like now? Maybe he could still do it.
The kid who was in that Indiana Jones Adventure chronicles,
remember then, he could do it. Yeah, he'd be my pick.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Man. That guy looks Yeah, just get a different guy
and just make him cool.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
And have Harrison Ford to introduce him as in.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
You think Glenn Powell would be You don't think he's
kind of like he's a very good looking guy, but
he's not very ordinary. That's a good looking guy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
Oh, I think he'd work up a little bit. Yeah,
I think it would be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
All right, just in case he's not available. Who would
be your second choice for Indiana Jones?

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
My other choice but years ago but he aged out
now is uh the guy who plays rock and Raccoon's voice.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
I forgot Bradley Cooper.

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
Yeah. I thought he would have been good, but I
think he might be a little too old. He could
do it, but he would be an old and they
can only get maybe one or two movies out of
him before he starts looking old before the effects are
not you know, the old guy doing that, Like when
that when that actor James Bond guy was surfing. That
was when I was like, no, that was the last
Bond movie I saw. I can't take he was searching

(01:03:40):
against the digital green screen like nah, showing his manly body.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
Almost as bad as the Cowardly Lions Song and The
Wizard of Oz. Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:03:49):
Yeah, but ye had. The difference is I could watch
that Bond movie a little bit, but it's just silly
and uh yeah it was not good. How could you?

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
How could you forget Bradley Cooper.

Speaker 4 (01:03:59):
Jor l And yeah he was good there, but I
think he's too old for indie versus like you could
see him swinging and I guess, but I don't know that.
That new guy, Glenn Powell, I didn't know he would
be a good He's perfect right now. They got to
start right now, and he could. They could squeeze out
like three four movies. Just make him good, that's all

(01:04:19):
they have to do. And don't go too far into
his own history. Just make him the adventurer in a story,
don't We don't need to know who is dad or
his kid or his ex wife. We don't need to
know all that. Just put him in an adventure and
like like the first Rders a Lost Star, like he
could have a girlfriend in the first two, like Temple

(01:04:41):
of Doom, where he had a new girl or different
girlfriend every movie and there's no history, and that that
was cool. That's much cooler, I think. And I don't
know if he had a Yeah, he had the first
three original three. He had different love interests in every movie.
That just made him cool.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
They could, they could do so many different stories.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
But yeah, yeah, you don't need to launch out. Yeah,
because I know the dad was cool because it was
Double O seven was his dad, so that was cool.
But you don't need to show him any more family
because then the next one he had Williams, and I
was like, I like how he subtly got rid of
him in that new movie, it shows picture on the

(01:05:19):
oh he's dead. He died, like okay, like I don't
know what the actor he died in Vietnam. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
because they was real quick. But Indy was drinking over it.
He had some scotch wherever he's drinking over his picture. Yeah,
it was just real. They just showed it kind of

(01:05:41):
like in a crystal skull. I think it was where
they showed uh, Sean Connery's picture in that one same thing.
They're like, oh he died, you know, oh Dad and Brody.
I think Brody Marcus Brody too. They said the same way.
They have to mention that characters that we're expecting. Oh no,
they did, you know they died? Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Arkatie says they should do a six billion dollar man.
You know, I'm not gonna put up his comment because
there's a curse where I.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Again, uh, six.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Dollars they were going to do. They were going to
call it the six billion dollar Man, and it was
going to be with Marky Mark Wahlberg for a long time.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
They should do one with Beyonce now because it's six
billion dollar woman. Yeah, because she's billion dollars. I watched it, Yeah,
I would. You wouldn't need any sound just watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
And Wayne says, what about Anthony Starr from The Boys Homelander?
I think he's kind of I don't know, that little
little on the short side, that guy, he's Homelander. You
ever see The Boys on.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
Oh the Blonde Guy, Blonde Guy? Yeah, yeah, I never
watched it, but uh, he was.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
In a couple other things. Too.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
People tell me too, I'll probably see it one day.
Never know you never ever.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Rkaty says that he wants to play big Foot in
the in the new six Dollar Man.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
You'd be good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Yeah, you like I would play him more like you know,
you'll get bear.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
How much money you got? You we're six million dollars?

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
There were six million. That's a lot of picnic buskeuts.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
You like how I like how Andre a giant. He
showed up for the audition and they're like, all right,
you got the part. And he's waiting to get his
prosthetics and they're like, nah, you don't. You don't need
any ask you don't need anything. We just gotta paint
your face a little dark brown and you're good to go.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Like what, I don't think you auditioned for that. I
think that we didn't need to find the biggest guy ever.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
Yeah, but I would demand some prosthetics or something. And
he's ugly enough to play Bigfoot. Now we got you.
Just throw your hair a little bit and get a
beard and you're good. Perfect. And I know what I
had the I had the Bigfoot Migo figure, and uh
when I got out, real happy if my daughter said dad,

(01:07:57):
Who's Who's what's that? And I said, this is sasquatch bigfoot?
She says, just a guy with a beard. There's nothing.
Don't look like an ape or nothing. Looks like a
big harry fat guy. Well I got it here. It's
real close. I could reach him. I could possibly reach it.
Let's see what I'll getting out of my chair.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Mmm, I got him.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
There is there is no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
It's a lot of furs.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
Just a guy. A.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
I don't like where your finger is though, that's not.

Speaker 4 (01:08:37):
That's not my finger. Oh my god, did the actual finger? Yeah?
Oh my gosh, he's a little floppy. I think he
might be brokes.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
You know what you know when you get those emails
from the Nigerian prince asking for money. I think we
got our first live one here. I am probably the
legend Jamaica for an investor. What's your live about? Well,
if you were watching, our live was about big foot,
gigantic things.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
It's about billionaires and sending money to Nigeria.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
We got our first Uh what do you call that
skim scam thing here? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
I started to get scammed too on some of my streams. Yah,
h hmm, that's I'm honored.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
Yeah, we made it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:21):
There's there's a bot. Is that a bot?

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
I think I think so. Yeah, I think we're gonna
get called out for your bigfoot.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Really, I'm gonna name him. I'm gonna name him Dave.
And he kind of looks like him. Yeah, and his
feet weren't very big. It's like regular size. I wish
they made him huge, like his feet set or just
regular size. He looks proportionate. See and some out of legs.

(01:09:54):
They added the bottom of his leg. See where the
foot normally be on a egle body they extended, so
it's like that. It's weird. Yeah, normally the foot would
be that much taller for that much higher and they
get patted up his suit. Yeah, he's kind of weird,
but he could do this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
I don't think. I don't think he would have sold
well if he was just regular sizes foot.

Speaker 4 (01:10:18):
Yeah, regular size, everage, average foot, average foot. Oh yeah,
look at see look at here's the migo. Sorrygo look

just sitting there, not even being played with, just sitting
here in a comfort controlled, climate controlled environment. Yeah. Maybe
his arms look better when they're longer.

I got Hula girls, Bigfoot, bigfoot figures. Things are happening,
man living, living life like a rock star right now
doing my things.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Yeah, we should, we should get to the I guess
we should because we've been on for an hour yet
we haven't gotten to the wrap up yet. Oh do
we haven't read about I think so it's where at
the end of the year. So a whole bunch of
stuff happened this year, But for the life of me,
I can't remember anything of what happened. What did we do?
There were big stories, big stories of of well, one

(01:14:18):
of the big things is that DC actually came out
with a with a good movie, Superman, a Superman movie
that this year. Yeah, that it kicked, it kind of
kicked to Marvel's butt there for a while, and and
you know what dec is doing really well in publishing.
Their absolute line is like, oh yeah, all kinds of butt.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
I just bought the Key Ko books, first two I bought.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
Yeah, I haven't bought those I got. I got the
Italians from the Justice League, but I haven't bought the
Ko books.

Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Did you read the dead Pool Batman book?

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
I read the first one. I had the second one.
I haven't ready yet.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
I don't know if I'm changing or if my brain
is different, but I at the one We're dead Pool
Batman or Leaping Towards it's a yellow cover?

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
Was that the one or the one? Was it written
by Grant Morrison?

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Or yeah, yeah, I read.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
I haven't read the Grant Morrison one.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe, but I
have no idea what that book was about. I read
the first two stories, like the one Batman, Deadpole, and
then I read the one with Constantine and Doctor Strange.
I read them and I had to stop. I was
physically getting a headache and frustrated, like, I don't know

(01:15:36):
who's writing comics that they think those stories were good.
I don't know what it was like, and I get
it Grant Morrison and.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Yeah, well, you know Grant Morrison. He could be like
you know, well like everybody, but but it's very soon
to be a hit or miss, like when he's when
he's firing on all cylinders. You know, Grant Morrison stories
like like what.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Yeah, hell was that? It always makes sense, like, yeah,
Morrison's stories always make sense when I'm telling somebody what
I thought it was about. But when you're reading, it's
so confusing. And he's very meta because he's into all
the universes, so he knows all the versions of Batman.
He knows all these deep cuts of characters. He's I

(01:16:22):
think he was the one who brought back that Zura
Raleigh guy, who's that Batman with the yellow and purple
costume and the and the you know what, he's like
multiple sleeve colors and stuff. That one. He looks like
a zombie Batman almost, but he brought him back because
it was a deep cutting. I like that character. But

(01:16:42):
this book, I have no idea what it was trying
to do. And somewhere in there there's a big typewriter
and I guess Grant Morrison is in it, typing the
story in the story and I don't know who over
there approved it, and that's an amazing story. Let's publish this.
We're gonna sell it. This book's gonna sell anyway because

(01:17:05):
it's a big, major cross and we didn't cross over
in thirty years, so let's put it together. We got
Grant Morrison perfect, let him do whatever he wants, and
he didn't do good. The story's bad. I don't understand.
I don't know what happened. I can't tell you what
it was about. And I read it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
They don't have to go read it now.

Speaker 4 (01:17:23):
Yeah, And I hope maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I just
don't get it. Maybe I'm used to stories where a
crossover met Juggernaut is stomping around Gotham City and Batman
asked that he gets hit with a batter ring and
he goes, what is this? But it was nothing like that.
I don't I don't even know if there is a
bad guy. And the book opens up where it's not

(01:17:44):
a spoil it's on a first page where it looks
like the DC Universe of Marvel Universe. There there are people,
which is like, and they start kissing, hugging and making out,
and it looks like that's what made the universes merge together?
Because these two are fornicating, the universes are being romantic,

(01:18:05):
and I guess that's why they're so intertwined. I don't
get it. But even the Doctor Strange one, I don't
know what they were doing. Like John Carter where his
name is, He knocked on the guy's door. He was
looking for magic, and he found the window, you know,
Doctor Strange's window, and he found him and then he

(01:18:26):
said something like, oh, you guys wear costumes, you guys
wear tights. And he says, while I'm this, and he goes, okay,
And that's all I remember. I read the whole thing.
I went back and rewriting, like this makes no sense,
Like I don't know, I don't know why this book.
It's obvious people aren't reading it. People are buying all

(01:18:47):
the covers and bagging them, board them and slabbing them
and all this. But I don't know what they're about.
And I couldn't even read.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Yeah, I think they're just they're they're not supposed to
be really, I guess continuity driven. They're just like fun stories,
like you know, these piece together, but yeah, they don't
have to be.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
Yeah, they don't have to be continuity, but the story
makes no remember like the original Batman or Superman spider
Man book was really good when they fought, like h
Luther shot Superman with a red kryptonite spray like a
red sunlight, and then Spider Man fought him and hurt
his hands, and then they fought, and then they teamed

(01:19:28):
up and Spider Man got a job at the at
the at the at the Daily Planet, and they switched
and that was cool. It was a good story, even
with the Hulk and Super Hulk and Batman. Batman found
a way to beat the Hulk by putting something in
his ear. I can't I didn't read it since I
was a kid, but I remember even tight Titan's X
Men was I just got my copy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Of that fine by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Yeah, oh cool. So I don't know if anyone's reading
these new books, They're like, it wasn't good, and I
still have to read the Marvel one. And people at
the store, our guys told me the Marvel one was better.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
And yeah, that's the one. That's the one I read.

Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
Yeah, yeah, I got to read that one, so.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
I got to read the other one. All right, so
we'll read that and we'll report back to each other.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
On the next pod. I didn't spoil anything because I
don't know what I'm spoiling, but I just said.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
You know, which was very Very which was a very
meta book. It was a very beautiful book because it
was illustrated by Michael Cho who's a fantastic artist. Oh yeah,
the Very City Trap or the Verocity Trap. It was
written by chip Kid and that that was very That
was a very meta story. And I was like, oh okay,

(01:20:44):
Yeah I read it and I was like when I
was done with it, I was like, okay, but yeah,
it didn't really do anything for me.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Yeah, I don't know what people The artwork was great though, Yeah, yeah,
I don't know what things. What comics are doing. Like
I read I read the Mark Wade Ones Now and
then the World's Finest. Those are really good. Like every
book I read, it makes sense. And I'm a I'm
a fan of just picking up a random book. Uh,

(01:21:13):
and like I could pick up issue seven of anything
if I could read it and it can make sense.
I might be confused story wise, but it's making sense
as I'm reading it, and it makes me want to
read what happened before. But yeah, like I picked, I've
been picking up books from the gas station. There's a
DZ comics rack at the gas station that they had

(01:21:35):
Superman Family Adventures in the rack, and I buy them
at the gas station now, and every time I get
Red Bull or take kids to college, I stop and
get Red Bull and I get I buy a comic
and then I've been opening them and reading them, and
those books, a lot of them are really good. And
I think these he's putting out their best ones for
the gas stations because they have like World of Krypton.

(01:21:58):
I think it was one of them. It's like an
alternate universe Krypton or alternate future with Batman's a Knight
and stuff like that. I forgot what's called Krypton Knights.
I think it's called something like. Yeah, but the books
are good. And there's a Justice League book I picked up.
There's one with Superman and all of the Supergirl in
It was good. But this new thing that they had
an opportunity to make amazing, they slacked. I don't know

(01:22:24):
what happened, but I don't know. I thought it was
me not understanding. Were like, what's wrong with my brain.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a late edition here, what's
wrong with your brain? See?

Speaker 4 (01:22:40):
Did you read the Batman Deadpool book?

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
Is it out already?

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
Yeah, it's been out for a little while. And what
made me want to read them is there's uh the
Superman Spider Man got me real excited. The crossover's coming.
But if Grat Morrison's writing it, he's going to ruin
it again. So I don't know, like like even yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
I'm telling you that sometimes, like it's really weird with
Grant Morrison because there's no in between. It's either really.

Speaker 4 (01:23:09):
Good or it's just you gotta get I think you
have to give him like twenty issues to tell a
story or mini series, like twelve issues at least, but
writing an eight page or ten page story, I don't
think he can handle it. It's not enough.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
We have we have another late edition.

Speaker 4 (01:23:25):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
The entire gang is here, all right, but that's all
we have time for it today.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
Thank you for coming reunited.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
But but I had so much to contribute.

Speaker 5 (01:23:38):
That's why he's the best in the business.

Speaker 4 (01:23:41):
Your cool chips.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
I was talking to Paul Jenkins live.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
I'm excited. If I may he's got cool plans for
both Captain Marvel, Missus Marvel and and the Century. Really
really cool new century story he's going to do starting
in March.

Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
Nice. Nice the Century. That's the guy with the void
that guy read. Yes, sir, I know they had a
Century guy in the cartoon. I forgot his name was
Centry or the Centurion or something like that. He was
a weird, zombie looking guy with white hair.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
That Johnny sorry already, Wayne was asking, is the book
often by gaslight the Kryptonian age? Is that the one?

Speaker 4 (01:24:21):
No, it's uh, I forgot I could get them. They're
real close. I'm going to get them to show you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
Because that's a great book that got them by gaslight,
that Eddie Diggle's doing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
That's but we were talking about the before you just
popped in. We were talking about the Deadpool, uh Batman
crossover and and uh already Lardy was having difficulty with
the Grant Morrison one. I only read the other one,
the first one, the one that Jim Well said, well, well,
yeah did it? It was okay? But you know I

(01:24:55):
have the other one.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
I haven't read it, but John, I haven't read Grants
yet either, But I love the crossovers, and I'm excited
for the ones that are still coming.

Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
All right, here he is, he's got, he was getting
all all Uh, it's like, who's who's writing comic books?
Who's going on on a tear?

Speaker 4 (01:25:12):
Yeah? Like that did you read the Batman, the Batman,
Deadpool books?

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
They were telling me already, Grant. Yeah, you got a
problem with Grant's book.

Speaker 4 (01:25:20):
It's horrible, it's stupid, Like I don't understand what honestly,
just tell us how you feel about it. I just
maybe people love it. I just didn't get it. I
just don't understand what he was doing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
That's good, isn't it good?

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
You?

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
That's how bronks do? You? From the from the gas Station?
And these are cool. I got this one, of course.
This These books are easy to follow. This and I
knew what was happening by page three. I was involved
by page one. And then I read some of this one.
I didn't finish this one, but this one's really.

Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
Cool, Tom Tom Taylor, look look how it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
Looks and it's really good. And oh the Dark Knights
of Steel and then I John Taylor, right, yeah, and
I gotta know, yeah, I maybe honestly, I don't even
look at the creators.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Give us some creators. Yeah, man, well.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
Tom Taylor wrote it, and Yasmin po Tree is the
art and color.

Speaker 1 (01:26:23):
Yes Tree, y mean yeah, yes mean that the late
Potree is where I'm having trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
But gas is the new Verma for Mega.

Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
Exactly Poetry or Petrie And I got this. I didn't.
I'm going to read this. This is gonna be good too,
because it looks good already. And look at a vintage one.
They're putting out these the gas that's John.

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
Burton right there.

Speaker 5 (01:26:49):
Yeah, which gas station.

Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
Over the one there by his house there over.

Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
There's a Circle K gas station. We got those, and
then they have them at who's that other one? There's
a there's one in Ohio. People are sending me pictures,
one of those chain ones. But but I don't understand. Yeah, sheets, sheets,
But I've been reading these. I got a few more
over there. But I understand what's happening. And I read

(01:27:20):
that Batman Deadpool and have no clue. I read the
whole thing, and I read the first two stories, and
I'm just saying that if you're gonna have a book,
that's going to be an epic crossover with both major companies.
Why not make a really good story that's gonna impact
everyone and not give someone like me who's been reading

(01:27:42):
comics for fifty years an opinion like this. You know,
if it was good, I would say, man, that was terrific.
It's like watching any thing that's good. Like, if it's
not good, why do you put it out there? And that, Like,
just because you have Grant Morrison's name on it doesn't
mean it's gonna be Academy Award winning, you know, like, well,

(01:28:03):
we got Grant, Let him do whatever he wants. Like, no,
he needs an editor, he needs you need somebody, man,
Like it wasn't good and listen, I just didn't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
I wonder if there is an editor that can go
to Grant and go listen, you know, hold on, hold on,
hold on with that LSD driven thought, I'm kidding about
the LSD kind of. But no, And I love and
I love Grant, I love I love how crazy Grant is.
But no, I hear what you're saying already because I've read,
you know, I read his Super God's Book where it

(01:28:33):
really kind of explains his feelings on superheroes and and
some of them I agree with something like, no, man,
that's not what I.

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
Read that crisis. Oh, go ahead, no good, I remember
that reading the Crisis. One one of the Crisis is
where J. G. Jones was drawing all the covers and
we're working on tiny Titans.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
I think that's final.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
Yeah, and we read that, but that was like twelve issues.
I read all of it, and I was very confused
reading the whole thing. But then after I'm complaining the
same I told my wife's like, man, I don't know
what this thing's big blockbuster thing, and it's like I
don't get it. And she said what was it about?
And then I told her what it was about? And
I'm like, wait, it was good, Like it made sense

(01:29:17):
now that I'm telling her what it was. But I'm like, oh,
then I went back and looked at it and go, yeah, okay,
I get it now. But he's like an unraveling as
you read it kind of thing. But this Batman deadpoole,
I don't. I have no idea. I read it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
I want to explained it to somebody in a couple
of weeks and then oh I.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
Got I got to redo it and I gave the
books I bought, uh, the DC one, the Marvel one,
and I bought two d c Ko's because I had them.
And just like when I bought my Jaws action figure,
a little baby, Gordy comes and takes it quick and
it's like, all right, I was waiting four months for that,
but all right. He took the word it is he

(01:29:58):
has it?

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Would which which kao? Which Chao stories?

Speaker 4 (01:30:01):
Did you read? But the first it's the regular series, okay,
And I just want to see what it is because
I I know that they're doing really well at our store.
They're good.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
There's the one really interesting?

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
Yeah, yeah, I read the Uh, I read the first
Batman Dead Pull the yellow cover one. Gordy saw me
and I was like, I didn't want to say anything.
He goes, oh, can did you read it?

Speaker 5 (01:30:25):
Like?

Speaker 4 (01:30:25):
I read the half of the first one. I had
to stop. I was getting a headache. I was so confused.
I don't know what I need to brew coffee or something.
I don't know what it is. I said, I didn't
get it, and he went all right, and he took
a stack and went to his room. He still has him.
He's reading them.

Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
You know what I think it's it's good that you
brought that up art because I think a lot of
people probably are in that boat sometimes, and I do
think there are certain I didn't read it yet, so
I can't say what it's like. But certain stories lend
themselves better to the full graphic novel. So you might
be confused in the beginning, but you're gonna be like, oh,

(01:30:59):
I'm gonna stick through it. But some stories like that
finest lend themselves to issues because they keep they tell
the story within the issue that gives you the hook.
But other stories, it's almost like that issue is a
chapter and it would lend itself better to the full novel.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
I can understand what what arentie talking about that because
you have read the Marvel DC books to Batman Deadpool,
they're broken up into small stories, you know, but it's
it's like a short story with just Batman Deadpool and
the short story with other heroes, and they have nothing
to do with each other.

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
So yeah, it's it's anology. And they Europe like the
second stories with the magic guys like John Carter and
doctor Strange where the guy where's the coat? The cigarette Constantine,
those two guys, so.

Speaker 5 (01:31:44):
Those won't connect and to other issues they're supposed to be,
and you still didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
I had no clue. I can't even what the doctor
Strange story was, and I forgot who wrote that one.
But the next story was as uh Wolverine clone Daphne.
Oh yeah Daphne, Yeah, Daphne. And so the artwork really good.
It looked real clean, like like the Madman guy. It

(01:32:16):
was like it was that style. It wasn't him, but
it looked like, why don't we.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
All leave, Why don't we all leave here and read
the book and come back?

Speaker 4 (01:32:23):
But with the night Wing and Daphne one, it looked good,
and I'm like, I got I gotta let this rest
because if this one's bad too, I'm not going to
read the rest.

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
And can we call twenty one Daphne from now whatever
from now on exactly?

Speaker 4 (01:32:42):
But I want to read that. That one looked interesting
because I don't even know. But there it's more of
a street level thing where they're on It starts where
they're both on a building. But the stories so far
don't have anything where they're not surprised see each other.
It's like they already know each other and there's no

(01:33:05):
I mean that they don't have to be some world thing.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
You know, it's characters like that. But it's like Deadpool
and Batman meeting for the first time. Yeah, I think
I would want a more substantial story, a bigger a
bigger story, a bigger you know.

Speaker 4 (01:33:22):
Like something it should be like, oh, you're Batman. I
heard a lot about you. That's all you need.

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
But you know, I don't mean how they get together
or you know, the plausibility. I just want like a good,
you know, a story that takes up some substance. You know.

Speaker 1 (01:33:40):
I haven't read the second I haven't read the Grant one,
but the first one, I have to be honest that
I feel like the two characters are so different that
they negate each other and you don't get a satisfying
me because I mean I read it and it was
fine but right, but there was there was nothing me
Deadpool's being crazy and Batman being stoic. Batman like I

(01:34:01):
don't need this ship, you know whatever, and it's like, yeah,
I don't know. It kind of bled to me where
I'm like, and I'll admit I'm not the biggest Deadpool fan.
I get the joke and I get the gimmick, and
I like it when it is a story that I am,
that I can gravitate to. But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if that if that was the right
from a sales standpoint, I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:34:22):
But but if you're gonna you already know this book's
gonna be the best sales of the month, probably a
year this.

Speaker 6 (01:34:30):
Yeah, but that's I mean, it could have just been
all right, here's the cover, but that, you know, and
then right, what about the other pages?

Speaker 4 (01:34:36):
And I remember, yeah, I love you know, Yeah, I
remember Dan didiosa years ago. Why do we even bother
with interiors? No one's reading. They're buying all these variant
covers and slamming the books, and this is one of
those books that kind of proves it to me. They
got all of these twelve different covers for this one issue,
but I didn't know anyone read it. And it's a

(01:34:57):
hard read. It's not easy, it's not breezy, it's not
it's just not I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Before when when the stories get too meta, they kind of,
you know, go.

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
But the artwork, I don't like it, but work is incredible.
But Dan Moore is He's the perfect Yeah, there's some
surprise characters, Like the book looks great. You turn it
and there's a character like, Wow, that's cool, but I
don't know why they're in it. Well, like it was
more like a flashy thing.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
Well, the other read it, I gotta say, I mean,
I found and at first I thought you were talking
about the Kalo books, because the actual main Ko books
there's a lot to digest and figure out. But I
have to say I've been impressed with the Battle Side books. Yeah,
and Jeremy Adams wrote this great uh Aquaman versus Hawkman
and at first you're like, yeah, whatever, but no, there's

(01:35:51):
like because I forget the name. Guys. You remember it
was about ten or fifteen years ago where maybe it
was during countdown or something, but you had like Red
Rain Batman versus Frank Miller Batman. It was like this
those arena kind of things, and those were all art
and there really wasn't much of a story there. And honestly,
like Jeremy's Hawkman Aquaman, things like, oh wait a minute,

(01:36:14):
there's characterization in here and there's really something going on,
and it really expanded. Right now, what he's doing with
a man is he's an elemental in the same way
that swamp thing is. And just like swamp thing is
all about the green because of the ocean and stuff,
Aquaman is all about the blue and he's tapping into

(01:36:35):
that power. And now all of a sudden, Achaman is
at a power level that might equal Superman' suos to say,
and it's it's very, very interesting. And also Hawkman is
like there's no slouch in the story either. It's very
and he taps into his ancient Egyptian thing going on.
So I'm impressed. I think Jenkins and I were just

(01:36:57):
talking about it that I think right now as far
as the tortoise and the hair and the tortoise being
uh DC and the hair being Marvel and stuff. Right now,
the tortoise is kind of chugging along and the carecater
is in front of them instead of behind them. There's
interesting stories going on.

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
Yeah, DC is really you know, publishing wise, with the
Absolute line and stuff like that, really kind of like
you know, kicking butt this year.

Speaker 4 (01:37:18):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious because I got people like when
Gordy and his friends asked me about the Absolute Batman
and like, wow, they know this then the kids. That's
interesting they want to know about it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
I think I was talking to Bark the other day
and he said that the Absolute line has has made
like something like six million in sales, and three million
of it are from Batman Absolute Batman alone.

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:44):
Well, he said the line is doing like incredibly well.
And he said those were the numbers as of December.
It didn't even take into account stuff that's coming up.

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
Yeah, and everyone says too that the Wonder Woman wants
the best.

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
It's it is very good and you know, way to
come very good. Kelly Thompson, she really I went from
you mean Kelly to Conack know and Kelly, no, no, no,
Kelly Thompson. Oh and now I mean literally on our
book club, on our Patreon book club, we did the
first volume of her Birds of Prey and it's fantastic.
And again Gail killed one Birds and Prey and other

(01:38:17):
people have as well, but Kel really brought in a
unique voice. But this wonder Woman thing, and you know,
they just had the crossover finally of Absolute wonder Woman
and Absolutely Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
Well yeah that's what Mark said. That doesn't take into
account the crossover that they just did.

Speaker 1 (01:38:31):
That's huge.

Speaker 4 (01:38:32):
Is that a whole different series, or they.

Speaker 1 (01:38:35):
It's an issue of the Batman series.

Speaker 2 (01:38:37):
The characters are coming together for the first time.

Speaker 4 (01:38:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38:40):
Cool, cool, And they're taking their time with this. I
mean I remember at the very beginning talking to Scott
Snyder about this and he's like, we're not going to
rush this, which is good. Good. I mean, that was
the thing with Civil War where it's like, hey, I'm
guess what Spider Man's Peter Parker. Okay, now, wow, think
of all the great stories and within twelve months, no, hey,

(01:39:01):
everything's back. Yeah, and it's like you had this, And
the same thing with with Brian, with with benn Is
when he when he revealed the Superman being Clark Ken,
it's like, oh my god, think of all the great stories.
You're gonna be able to do old.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
Move Yeah, not anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:39:18):
I always wanted, even I know you don't read X Men,
but I know I always want an Age of Apocalypse
to stay that way, to make that an alternate universe
for X Men. But then when they changed it back,
I'm like, what was all that.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
I'm pretty sure Love's doing a new sequel. Yeah that
addresses that. Yeah, Loves like Loves, Like, hey, what what
was I involved? With that was kind of interesting, And
do I have more to say about it? Because the
same thing with Hush Too. Yeah, more hush, even hushier
than ever.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Yeah, and I remember Hush too, so so so hushy.
It's now shush.

Speaker 1 (01:39:55):
Yeah, it is exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:39:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39:57):
Hey, Jim, where where are you in Hush Too? Uh? Well,
I got paid four done?

Speaker 4 (01:40:01):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:40:02):
That's great, keep going, keep.

Speaker 4 (01:40:03):
Going too tight here. Yeah, I'm not even like, yeah,
he had enough the first one.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
It's it's a good story. It's just gonna take Jim
four years to rob a goddamn thing, that's all.

Speaker 4 (01:40:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
What else has he gotta do?

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
Is he still working on that all Star Batman and
Robin probably the next thing.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
She's doing out any any year now.

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
Yeah. I like what Bob Harris said, school book I had,
I had Jim like you. I wish I wish comics
were fun like they were in the nineties when he
told me and Franco death.

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
That's why he's in the position that he's say, oh,
I'm sorry, is he editing X Men again?

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
Ship way?

Speaker 1 (01:40:51):
When you're absolutely right, say Jim, stop what stop doing?
Get back to work. I'm putting back to work.

Speaker 4 (01:40:58):
I saw a picture of Jim Lee recently we at
a convention and he was worrying a little tie, dark
glasses and in a flat cap, and I'm like, hey man,
you need a little chin here.

Speaker 2 (01:41:10):
That's that's my that's my look, dude. Yeah, hey man,
I'm a beat man.

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
I'm Jimmer Lee. I don't know if you know, but
I did some excellent comments in the nineties and the
and the what we like to call the naughties, that's
what we call those ear the.

Speaker 4 (01:41:26):
Naughties, the natis, the daily Naughties.

Speaker 1 (01:41:28):
That's what the British call it, the naughties, right, Yeah,
Michael Caine, I dated a lot of Batman during theties.

Speaker 2 (01:41:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:41:38):
That was that was during the nineteen hundreds, you know,
last millennium. Yeah, you created you dead story that that's
going to explode.

Speaker 1 (01:41:51):
Boult Is that it is made.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
Yeah, I feel old enough as it is. But when
they start talking about the nineteen hundreds being the nineteen nineties, that's.

Speaker 4 (01:42:00):
You know, I really yeah, five years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:42:05):
It hurts. It hurts unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
What else? What else is happening for you? What not
on your mind? For the twenty twenty five wrap up show.

Speaker 5 (01:42:17):

in David Bosters.

Speaker 5 (01:42:46):

and it says you need like three thousand tickets or
just pay like seventy five dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:42:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
Why okay? First of all, why are you taking him
to David Busters? Why why I Chuck E Cheeses?

Speaker 5 (01:43:02):
No, he's all, he's ten. He doesn't want to go
to Chucky Cheese. He wants to go to David Busters
as the cool games.

Speaker 4 (01:43:07):
I always wonder why they with why a pizza place
would pick a mascot that's a rat, because.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
The health inspectors come through. Then you know they're they're
gonna be okay.

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
That's act. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43:20):
John Oliver did a fantastic history of Chuck E Cheese.
It's on YouTube. For his last week. Yeah, I saw
that absolutely worth watching and it.

Is interesting pizza that was before Chuck.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
Yeah, that's what the Bear Jos band.

Speaker 5 (01:43:36):
Yeah, we had major magics.

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
It was kind of like that, you know where you know,
all these all these food places, apple beans. I would
find Applebee's today, which remind me of this. And do
you know what Applebee's name was? Originally banana sees, apple
seeds it was, And if it was called this, I
think I would still go there because it's sounds more

(01:44:00):
interesting than the processed stuff that they do now, I guess.
But it was t J. Applebee's Edibles and Elixirsyah, man,
I go there, ye stuff man, you can get a
burger and a bud.

Speaker 4 (01:44:16):

the silence so obviously did you hear did you hear
about the new restaurant that they're going to open up

for you or just in general of the world. In
our twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:46:09):
Wrap up, I had a productive twenty twenty I mean,
I understand that the world's on fire and you know,
do them in destruction. But you know, hey, I got
my act together. I'm halfway through the word balloon book
that I'm transferring.

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
Halfway yeah, half way half way.

Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
There and uh and I got and we do the

We started the other day.

Speaker 1 (01:46:39):
Are we ready to announce it? Francis, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
I thought I'll leave it up to you, but I.

Speaker 1 (01:46:45):
It's in process. We're making it, but we should let
the people know, especially the crowd who might be interested
in this.

Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
We're gonna I'm proud and partly proud and partly ashamed,
but go ahead. Yeah, I'm driving. I'm driving already. I'm
driving a highland park to see my high school friends.

Speaker 1 (01:47:00):
I have no idea. Do you remember how we got
on the subject of the love Boat.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
I think it was raining when you were driving.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
I think that could talk about all the all the
all the lame celebrities that were on the love Boat
and were laughing. Hey, and Francis why, yes, he was, Yeah, April, Man,
that's the thing. So we're gonna do. We're doing a
love Boat rewatch and we started with the first two

(01:47:27):
pilots where the first pilot nobody from the series is
in it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:31):
Two pilots completely well, there.

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
Were three altogether, really three before they got it right.

Speaker 4 (01:47:37):
And you this.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
You can learn all of this when when we release
episodes of our love boat podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
So you started recording them already.

Speaker 1 (01:47:45):
Emotion emotion, sickness, a love Boat rewatch emotion sickness.

Speaker 4 (01:47:50):
I know I heard your song. You sent the song love.

Speaker 1 (01:47:57):
Off key, Yeah, on purpose, so to avoid copyright? Sure, yeah, exactly, sure, yeah,
sure you can't sure exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
I didn't mean it sound like that.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
Yes, So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
I'm doing it hopefully to avoid copyright infringement. But I'm
supposedly getting original music composed. And when that happens, I'll switch.

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
To what Johnny is saying is that, yes, twenty twenty
five was good, but because he's doing love Boat rewatch podcasts,
the twenty twenty six is going to be spectator.

Speaker 1 (01:48:25):
Even better, even better, because we got it. We got
to see how Bill Bixby and Ruth Buzzy got together
on the Love Boat or Susan Anton and uh Larry
from Three's Company, you know that kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (01:48:38):
Who did Jamie Fire hook up with? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
We haven't gotten there yet.

Speaker 4 (01:48:42):
Was every show about them being in love.

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):
I don't never watch what they called it, the Love Book.

Speaker 4 (01:48:47):
It was a hookup show. Did people older to meet people?

Speaker 1 (01:48:51):
Or well? And it was the first two pilots are
more sexier in a TV movie sort of way, because
they were based on a book that this woman, Jeneeve
Saunders wrote. She was the first female cruise director, and
literally it was about her discovering that in the sixties
the cruise had become a bunch of old people and

(01:49:12):
then a bunch of swingers looking a hookup and everything.

Speaker 4 (01:49:15):
Was Janet ever on there.

Speaker 1 (01:49:17):
Oh yeah, I surely.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
Don't give it away, Johnny. We gotta we gotta let
them listen to this.

Speaker 4 (01:49:22):
I never I don't remember watching watching it. I didn't
watch a lot of stuff when I was a kid.
Parents already say this isn't for Uko. You know he
already it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:32):
Didn't did there alone time with the TV? Though, kid
don't play with the rock Man.

Speaker 4 (01:49:38):
I used to have and then maybe Wonderful Old Dad
will watch wonder Woman so we will get to see that.

Speaker 1 (01:49:45):
I saw a really funny I guess it was from
last year, a Deadpool Christmas thing where they call on
Linda Carter to help them. Oh, and she does the
spin and instead of lighting up like wonder Woman, she's
like in an ugly Christmas sweater. It's like a Christmas
like yeah, and she's like, what the hell, And and
Ryan Reynolds goes those damn DC lawyers. They wouldn't let

(01:50:07):
you go.

Speaker 4 (01:50:08):
It was that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:50:09):
It was very funny. It was she looked great, God
damn for seventy six or whatever, like to still flying hid.

Speaker 4 (01:50:17):
She ordered a new fleet recently. I heard. I saw
her sign it at UPS.

Speaker 1 (01:50:23):
She's I believe Trump is using her to threaten Venezuela.
That's how much she's flying. Really, you're gonna send.

Speaker 4 (01:50:31):
Just watch out speak Spanish. I heard.

Speaker 2 (01:50:33):
You know, since we're since we're doing this this twenty
twenty five wrap up show and we're airing out all
our grievances, I have one with all of you guys.
Really yeah, and I need to kind of get it
off my chest like individually, no, just together as a group.

Speaker 4 (01:50:47):
One.

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
Yeah, I say, I send you guys text messages with
memes and stuff, and I get no reactions and no
no answers.

Speaker 1 (01:50:56):
You get too much on your hands.

Speaker 5 (01:50:57):
I react to him when I see him.

Speaker 2 (01:51:00):
No, it's funny though, I because our device sometimes we
will we'll talk to each other and uh, we're like,
we said this one. Nobody said anything, but yeah, it
was real funny.

Speaker 4 (01:51:09):
Though, I said, I try to send them.

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
Some of them are real bad. Some of them are bad.

Speaker 1 (01:51:15):
Did I see you guys? The British guys that were
doing they were singing Frankie goes to Hollywood Relax, Oh yeah,
but doing it as if it was Gilbert and Sullivan
Operetta Relax, don't do it if you really sunk it
to it. It was very, very funny, and especially given
how great I don't know if people know how we
just think it's a great dance song. You might want

(01:51:36):
to reread those lyrics because they're trying to tell us
something to our gay friends, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But on radio, we would always say on our easy
listening adult contemporary session that was run by the Mormon
Church at five o'clock, we do like a not stop
music for the next forty five minutes, and a lot
of times they'd start with Frankie goes to Hollywood and relax,

(01:51:58):
one of the this is the guy, it's that is truth. Everybody.
There were monitors making sure that we weren't doing too
many alcohol commercials, gambling commercials, or too much sexual innuendo. So,
needless to say, Relax comes on and it's like, you
really think you ought to be playing that at five o'clock,
Like we don't mind you playing it later at night,

(01:52:18):
but maybe not at five o'clock when you want to come.
And it's not when you want to arrive.

Speaker 4 (01:52:26):
And the new John Chavolta Santa Claus commercial, when he's
singing Grease Lightning, they edit out the whole line about
the vagina wagon line and then the the other one
make it make you have ice cream line, So they
make they headed up that whole portion and in the
song skips it's like skipped, like it's like it skips

(01:52:47):
in the next verse right away.

Speaker 1 (01:52:48):
I told I told Laradie. When we had lunch with Chucky.
It was Chucky's birthday lunch, which was hilarious. It was
a great adventure. But when we were leaving, I told him,
I said, I was watching an old Letterman clip of
marytal More being interviewed and she she referred to Penis van.

Speaker 4 (01:53:07):
See. It came around. We mentioned like what was what
was when Mary.

Speaker 1 (01:53:11):
Tyler Moore and Belts are hanging out, you know, and that's.

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
Good my first crush when they send you, when they
send you a reel of uh Jefferson Starship song being
sung in Chinese, nobody reacts to that. I did, I did?

Speaker 1 (01:53:28):
I yeah, I told you belongs in the who zum
and oh category?

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
Oh yeah, you know it was Jefferson.

Speaker 1 (01:53:34):
Airplane, which was groundbreaking, and like you know, White Rabbit
is like an LSD trip and it's like, oh my god.
And then the seventies Marty ballon Red Octopus, great album
with miracles and things like that. And then they build.

Speaker 2 (01:53:50):
From the eighties. Yeah, yeah, hey, they built that city.
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:53:55):
Yeah, Marconi plays the mambo.

Speaker 4 (01:53:59):

guy for original guy from Jefferson Airplane who was like
sixty eight or whatever. Ten years ago he sang, Jane

the I had a snippet of the DJs from each
city like in the song, and then they just released
the one with Shadow Stevens is the one you hear
all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
On the radio, Shadow Steepen.

Speaker 4 (01:55:00):
It was boat Now.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
It was because like I'm like, oh wow, they did
they put that stepping in from the radio station I
listened to And then I heard a different version.

Speaker 1 (01:55:07):
Of like, Hey, wait a minute, did a scoot in
uh in Toledo? Did they? Because Huey Lewis and the
News for a Heart of Rock and Roll did the
same thing. We're at the end in Cleveland, Detroit, and
we had Chicago and it's like it's so clearly not
part of the song. So did they do Hey Toledo.

Speaker 5 (01:55:26):
Probably, I don't know. I never I don't remember hearing
it on the radio like that.

Speaker 1 (01:55:30):
Though, incidentally, Hey Lewis in the news Fine Group, they
asked me to jump in and say Toledo.

Speaker 5 (01:55:35):
Yeah, I know. I don't think they did.

Speaker 1 (01:55:37):
I think we just yeah, no, all right, I didn't
have the special Toledo in the Morning. My favorite morning
host in the Toledo radio Peop no longer unless we got.

Speaker 5 (01:55:47):
The Detroit One, Like, because we're close to Detroit.

Speaker 1 (01:55:50):
Is there is there any sort of morning zoo happening
in Toledo?

Speaker 4 (01:55:53):
Hellow you know, I.

Speaker 5 (01:55:57):
Listened to the Detroit one. There's one out of Detroit.
David Chuck.

Speaker 1 (01:56:01):
Yeah, David Chuck, how you doing it? We got a
wild traffic guy guy there.

Speaker 5 (01:56:06):
It's called David Chuck the Freak, and Colbert made fun
of it the title of that show before. He was
like saying, like, even David Chuck the Freak had to
talk about this, and he's like the Freak was not
happy about it or something.

Speaker 1 (01:56:20):
Well, I just had mister skin on it went.

Speaker 5 (01:56:23):
Yeah, because he was to listen he was doing his year.

Speaker 1 (01:56:27):
In retrospective of best nudity of the year. But I
asked him, I'm like, because when he started in ninety nine,
and he said, back then there were like one hundred
morning zoos across the country. Yeah, he's like, now there's
like twenty five or thirty, and most of them are
like my age or slightly younger or slightly older, because
those are the legacy shows that still get an audience.

(01:56:47):
But yeah, all right, let's let's talk about Sydney sweety boy.
I'd like to and it's like, hey, Grandpa, she's got
a pair of jeans.

Speaker 4 (01:56:54):
Boy.

Speaker 5 (01:56:55):
Yeah, David Chuck were popular when I was like in college,
so they were like so now they're in their like
late forties, early fifties, but they're still popular because that
Pete that group like my age still listen to the radio,
but everyone younger than that doesn't listen.

Speaker 4 (01:57:09):
Still there's that word still still.

Speaker 1 (01:57:12):
My uh two guys who went to college, does they
become a show? They're the they're the morning show, the
morning rock show in the Quad Cities and they're still
going on. And yeah, they're in their late fifty are
a couple of years younger.

Speaker 4 (01:57:24):

Speaker 1 (01:57:24):
They're like, your guys did like Guardian Franco. Hey, hey, hey,
nothing wrong with that. It's just you know, I'm just
saying I'm not speaking of.

Speaker 2 (01:57:34):
Hey, hey, another grievance I have. And this is just
the other day. This was it. I went, we were
we were cooking, you know, we're preparing Christmas Eve stuff,
and and I'm like, hey, I want to watch It's
a Wonderful Life because I watch it every year. Yeah,
and shut up, you're crying. I'm not crying. No, I

(01:57:55):
cry everything, and.

Speaker 4 (01:57:56):
I crist ever since. Uh he says, say brainlet and
I cry for that moment.

Speaker 2 (01:58:02):
Yeah, I cried. But anyway, I want to go find it.
I'm like, oh, I'll just watch it. I was streaming
and I Amazon Prime had it, had they had they
had a what did they call it? An abbreviated edition.
What did I didn't realize. I didn't realize that it
was the abbreviated whatever they called it addition. And I

(01:58:23):
started playing that and it goes all the way up
to Clarence when when he meets Clarence, and then he
goes in the bar, and then that's it. You too
out the door or through the window when he takes
that line, and then it cuts all of a sudden
to him running through the town Hey old building and loan,
and I'm like, what the hell was that? What did
it skip? But I went to go rewind and they

(01:58:43):
had cut out like a half hour of yeah. And
then I saw like on online somewhere Facebook or something like,
people were like all upset because they cut out this
abbreviated edition.

Speaker 1 (01:58:55):
They cut out like this whole section that makes no sense. Yeah,
the whole reason of him suddenly seeing the world without him,
and that you had a wonderful line to throw it
away Shunie.

Speaker 5 (01:59:20):
Of course, Johnny speaking of mister skin Scope and I
still laugh about that story where I went to that
middle school and they were like, what like podcasts or

I gotta watch it again.

Speaker 4 (02:08:07):
Remember was that the one where they had two characters
that look like Walton Jesse from Breaking Bad? Was that
the first one? Remember? They were they were in a lamp.
They were too sheep or something. They were cooking, cooking
a potion. I don't know if it was Opia or
another show. Yeah, but yeah, that's yeah. They were dressed

(02:08:29):
in the yellow yellow suits. I remember that and kept
calling to one guy, Jesse. I think they were sheep.
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (02:08:46):
Live remember live?

Speaker 4 (02:08:49):

scene missing people can't wait to be on the Love
Boat Show. So we're gonna have to figure out how
to get them in that you're you know, because you're
you're on the East coast there on the West coast.

everything will be fine.

Speaker 4 (02:09:42):
You guys, You guys watch it first, then record or
do you record while you're watching it? It's like a review.

Speaker 1 (02:09:51):
And we're not. My feeling is like, let's not review
it live. Let's let's keep those canned and then maybe
at the end of each season. We can review the
season and then people can chime in what their thoughts
are and stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:10:05):
I don't know any episodes like connect or they all
just they all just self contained.

Speaker 2 (02:10:12):
Well, you kind of have to listen to the show stupid.

Speaker 1 (02:10:18):
Now that now that it's usually shown in hour long segments,
you got those two hour ones like when they went
to Hong Kong or some of the other more exotic locations,
so those are presented as two part stories. But also,
you know, Vicky obviously his daughter shows up in season three.

showed up along with Grant Morrison, and really, I've confuseding.
We had no idea what that was. I love it,
don't you get it.

Speaker 4 (02:14:27):
I'm going to read that. I should have just I
should have just slammed it right away.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
I'm going to rock the Gangs and then read dead
Pool and Batman. I'll take me and I'll tell you
what I'll tell you when it makes sense.

Speaker 4 (02:14:37):
I'm going to read it in reverse order. I'm going
to read it like like an anime book. Yeah, right away,
I would have.

Speaker 1 (02:14:48):
I forget what recent thing I sent you guys, and
I was like, what.

Speaker 4 (02:14:52):
All kinds of stuff?

Speaker 1 (02:14:54):
It's twenty five Franco Instagram videos away.

Speaker 5 (02:14:57):
So I do you get the hammer out for common extra?
Is that only for movies?

Speaker 4 (02:15:01):
No, we get it for comics.

Speaker 1 (02:15:03):
To you, you'd be a I don't mean to be rude,
but you'd be a cripple if you watch those first
two love Boat pilots. Oh yeah, I don't want that
in my life watching that one.

Speaker 4 (02:15:15):
I've been doing good without ever watching it. So and
then on Christmas Eve, I get to pick what we
do is the birthday and all that. Yeah, come on,
I woke up. Uh, my daughter, like she decorates the house.
She gives me a theme every year, and this year
is this is on Christmas Eve? Yeah, yeah, we put

(02:15:40):
so Chris by Christmas Day, we have all the Christmas decorations.
But then there's balloons. We have balloons and I'll like,
how Chris happy Birthday stuff. But we leave it up
and so when people come over their like the heck's
going on? Or like Jesus. Yeah yeah, and so a
few like one one year she decorated the the house

(02:16:02):
like baseball. Everything was green with bases all over the
play like green tablecloths on everything. And then one year
was uh Superman and Uh, she put whatever is on
one year with last year was Jaws. I come down
the stairs. She was playing Jaws on a piano and
it was cool. We had Sharks on the TV all
day and so we watched Jaws later that night. And

(02:16:25):
so I get to pick the movie. So when I
came down today, it said welcome to the Baltzar Theater
on the on the stairs and then everyone true movie posters.
I gotta upload a video probably by tomorrow, a little
short and it has. They drew the Star Wars movie poster,
Superman movie poster et, Jaws and Planet of the Apes

(02:16:46):
and they set up dud you could pick your movie
and they give me movie tickets for tonight and I
can invite four people. And it was really cool and
we had popcorn and all this stuff, and uh, my
wife's real nervous all the time of what movie I'm
gonna pick? And then she's like, oh please, I said,
and she wanted to know. We went to dinner. I

(02:17:09):
found my favorite restaurant was open till eight, so we
were able to go. And then we're discussing this movie
and she's like, what movie you gonna pick? Like it's
something you'll like are you sure that I see it before?
I said, probably. Is it a new movie? Well, the
kid's never seen it, like, oh, what is it? And
then she went it's not the Star Wars Holiday special.

Speaker 5 (02:17:31):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (02:17:31):
And I went, do you want to watch it? And
she went no, And I mentioned the hammer, I said,
She said, last time you put a hammer in the
middle of the floor, and that was real tempting, I said,
but I didn't want to smash my little toe. I said,
doesn't have to be the baby tow. You can smash
the big toe. I didn't want to smash my toe.
So we watched the whole thing and Gordy kept pushing

(02:17:52):
for He goes, Dad, we're gonna put it on. We
gotta watch it. We go like, I said, no, we
won't torture, but I put the original Planet of the Apes,
and but I told him that you can't see what
I'm picking, so I'll get it up going And everyone
asked them not look at the TV until I press play,
and I'm like, okay, look, because in the movie they

(02:18:12):
don't have an intro. They show to space and they
and then Charlton Hesson's tugging there must be something else
They're better than man, and he goes, there's our new
Eve and she dies and all that, and then you
hear the music boom boom boom boom boo boom, and
they didn't know what it was and it was so
cool and Audrey loved it. Gordie said that those new

(02:18:36):
movies make sense now, and he says, but they're not
the same. The apes are the bad guys and the
new ones there the apes are good guys and the
humans are like, yes, he gets it, and then Audrey
asked the magical question. So this is the first one
that started it all. I'm like yep. She goes, did
they make more of these? I'm like, yes, there's four more.
She went are they good? And I went my pick

(02:18:58):
would be one, three, four, two five. She went, so
they're good. I said yes, and then she said can
we watch the second one? I said yes, but not today.
So that's what I do with Star Wars too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:19:17):
The one thing about about Beneath is it's a well
two things. Waddy mcdonell's not in it because he was
making another movie, but you can't tell because they got
a British guide to basically imagine. Yeah, and then uh,
and then the the the ending that the world blows up.

Speaker 4 (02:19:31):
Yeah, come on, they didn't want to do they killed
it because Charlton.

Speaker 1 (02:19:38):
Essen, I don't want to make these anymore, make these anymore.
But the third one is amazing because of course we
got Manda that as Armando, that shok this owner. But
it's like, starts off weird and then becomes wacky comedy,
and then all of a sudden in the middle of
the movie, suddenly it's a suspense movie and they're gonna
kill the apes and it's yeah, now.

Speaker 4 (02:19:59):
Everyone eyes and all. They're tragic. And even when we
were trying to guess the movie, Audrey said, is it
a happy movie? And I went, no, are any parts happy?

Speaker 2 (02:20:10):
No?

Speaker 4 (02:20:11):
Is it a mystery? Maybe? She goes, is it a
sci fi movie? Yeah? She goes, is it star wars? No?
And then they all wanted to know when did you
watch it? I said, when I was about four, I
saw it. What So they were really interested in but
they want to watch the rest of them. So maybe
on New Year's Day or something, I'll put on Beneath

(02:20:33):
the Planet the Apes and freak them all out.

Speaker 5 (02:20:35):
But she.

Speaker 4 (02:20:37):
Yeah, the kids cringed at the right moments like of
course I'm gonna kiss you, doctor, and they kiss and
I'll be like why Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
And there was another one with when got a monkey
in their pants?

Speaker 4 (02:20:51):
Yeah, when Nova, when when they want you to the
mate and I'll just like, oh, like she the prettiest
girl in town and like why why she's so pretty?
And I'll get all the rest now I know what?
And uh and then she when they showed the Stewart
when they that music when she dead and uh that

(02:21:15):
scared him?

Speaker 2 (02:21:16):
That noise?

Speaker 4 (02:21:17):
Why, yeah, who's that's that's the woman our new eve.

Speaker 1 (02:21:23):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (02:21:25):
They should have brought like six women with them because they.

Speaker 1 (02:21:30):
Yeah, yeah, she's gonna she's gonna be pretty. She would
have been very busy having the service all three of them.

Speaker 4 (02:21:39):
They would have maybe six, two each would have been better.

Speaker 1 (02:21:43):
Like the Equal Rights of Surf City, the Janet Deeine
song two Girls for every Boy.

Speaker 4 (02:21:48):
Or just have Taylor and just three girls and him.
That would have been I get right and Lendon.

Speaker 1 (02:21:56):
When landed, when Landon's got the lobotomy scar, that's what
freaks me out.

Speaker 4 (02:22:00):
Yeah, it was really good that they responded to all
of that, like the and then oh my god, they
they cut on his brain like you know, she responded
to that, and uh, it had all the good moments.
And then when they saw Dodge in the museum, yeah,
kids freaked out, all yeah, and then my wife said,
see that's when we go to the Field Museum. It's

(02:22:22):
just like that, but in the apes like like and
then my girl got real anti animal anti and I.

Speaker 1 (02:22:30):
Was like it, try and make that scene today with
the with the black Man Taxi dermid Yeah, good luck,
good luck, They're not gonna happen, not gonna if anything.
Taylor would have been Taxi dermyd Yeah, but.

Speaker 4 (02:22:44):
Uh it was good man. It hit all of the
right moments and they they reacted in so the movies
classic and yeah, and uh it was.

Speaker 1 (02:22:52):
It was awesome when boom, uh they did an adaptation
of rod Serling's original script. Have you ever seen those
that nine minute make up test where it's Robinson instead
of Murray Seven's. Yeah, you know, the story is very
different and it's more like rod Serling's.

Speaker 4 (02:23:07):
Yeah, it was just a test test footage your.

Speaker 1 (02:23:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's only like a five minute scene and
James Brolin and uh Nova Linda Harrison play Cornelius and zero.

Speaker 4 (02:23:17):
And even Gordy said at the end that that was
like a Twilight Zone movie, as Oh, it's funny you
say this, And I told him about Rod Serling. He
didn't know that part, yeap, and like so it came
through because we we always they do the marathons and
Twilight Zoning on one of the days.

Speaker 1 (02:23:32):
I love that and I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:23:33):
We watch them all every year.

Speaker 1 (02:23:34):
Yeah, isn't it amazing how that's a seventy year old
show and it still holds up.

Speaker 4 (02:23:39):
Yeah, without special effects, it's pretty much. They have minimal
of special effects.

Speaker 1 (02:23:44):
Yeah, no ninety nine for God's sake, when it's started
or is it classic?

Speaker 4 (02:23:49):
You just need a good story. You could find a
way to translate it and it's good.

Speaker 2 (02:23:53):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (02:23:54):
But yeah, I can't wait to watch the second one.

Speaker 2 (02:23:57):
Says movie and earlier poster talk reminded me that truth
drewsy passed away in October this year. You could celebrate
with a twenty twenty six marathon. Oh that's an idea.

Speaker 1 (02:24:07):
That is a good idea. What a genius. Yeah, what
amazing movie? Posters Absolutely, And I know my buddy Doug
Klaba studied with him for a while with him.

Speaker 4 (02:24:17):
Yep, wow, yeah, I know in college they asked us
when when they asked us which modern master and which
uh classic artists do we want to emulate? Like try
to get their style? And I picked Drew strews In
and uh rembrand because I like Rembrandts sketches. So I

(02:24:38):
tried to learn their style and so I figured out
how he does it all, and I learned his techniques
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:24:44):
Did you guys ever meet Basil go Goos before he
passed away? Maybe you know that is Yeah, he's painting
for the audience if they don't know the painted covers,
the monsters, famous Monsters of Filmland, Gloria covers, Gloria.

Go yeah awesome. Yeah, yeah, an amazing name too. He did.

Speaker 1 (02:25:07):

that was still flying.

Speaker 4 (02:25:15):
Yeah. Well he shops at the store. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:25:22):

just had. Really yeah, a long year, but we will.
We will be back in the new year with those

that we get to him, and we just run out
of time, but we'll.

Speaker 5 (02:25:54):
Get Remember when we tried to do an actual real
ghost story episode, that's when an He got real mad
that Franco for telling the story. Remember that, Franco.

Speaker 1 (02:26:05):
Here's the idea, bring up awkward personal moments, because that's
what we want to talk about. Yes, by all means
we did when you were really pissed at me.

Speaker 5 (02:26:14):
We tried to tell ghost stories and we couldn't finish.
